  14. Simple System Question

    Sounds good, that's what ill be doing then. If I run this amp the Alpine MRP-F300, Amp How do I wire this whole thing up.

    From my understanding, this amp is going to wire up the same way as my single channel matching one, power wire, ground to chassis, remote wire and plug in all the speakers. That I know how to do, but i want to stay away from running to many wires, can I buy a distribution block, plug in my two 4 gauge power wires in one end, and make one 2 gauge or 0 gauge go out to my battery from the other end. As for my remote wire, do I have to run two separate wires or can I just branch off the other one to turn my amp on.

    What is the difference between wiring my speakers at 2ohm and 4 ohm, apart from the output power, which way do you connect your wires to make it different. my front are 45 RMS, and my rear will be 85 RMS that's a significant difference, if it puts out 75W in 2ohm and 50W in 4 ohm, that's higher then my 45 RMS in the fronts and lower then 85 RMS for my rears. I think im really missing the boat here can someone explain to me in depth how this works.

    yeah u got the amp wireing right but dont forget rca's and u can run a distrubutoion block if u want.. haha ide think itde be bulkier than just running the wires.. and s for the remote turn on u can just branch it off the pther one. thats what i did and it works fine. and as far as impedence. basically if u take the positives from both and negatives from both and twist them together as they were 1 speaker that will "ohm them down" to 2 ohms instead of 4 or from 2 to 1 dependiong on the application. and if the amps 2 ohm stable ide wire everything 2 ohm..

    the big three sounds worse than it is. once you pop your hood and trace your wires and get a good look at everything; you will relize its not any harder than installing an amp kit. a 4ch amp/ good wiring/ a proper box will take you a long way and should make you happy til you decide you need more. but a full alpine system is good nothing to be ashamed of and will surprise people when done right.

    very well put. x2 to it all. :drinks:

    heres my box design for 2 kicker solo-baric l2's rated at 600 watts rms.

    specs are

    35 hz

    31.5 x 19.5 x 23.5

    7 cubes internal volume

    86" port area

    port size is 3.5 x 12 and theres 2 of them.

    port length is 15 inches

    port displament is .7 cubes

    so net volums would be like 6 cubes including sub dispacement.

    JUST wanting to make sure this is right and if someone would run through the math for me. especially on the port i would be very greatful! because i really dont trust my port calculator..
