Bronze Member Username: JustblazeSt.Louis, MO USA Post Number: 82 Registered: Jun-06 | well right now i have a 4gauge to 2 8 gauge dist. block so i was thinking i could wire my sub amp from one side, and then wire the 2 small speaker amps in series with the other 8 gauge. ive heard that you should only amplify your front speakers and run the rear off the head unit but i have a small suv and 2 type-Rs in a SPL box so i want rear passengers to catch some highs and mids. i just want my sound to be loud and clean, I'm not too worried about staging |
