Have you already started thinking about subs?
I've started slightly, I've had my fair share of simple setups and I think I'd like to go big now. I do have an idea of turning my trunk to the whole box, and inverting the speakers in place of where the back seat would be, I'd love to get 2 AA SMD's simply because astetically they'd look beast like that and they bang hard anyway.
Ifnot, I plan to go the DC route, with at least 2 lvl 4 XL's or better.
the one issue i got tho is the back wall behind the rear seat is just cluttered with fuse boxes & a bunch of crap from the bose system.
this post on this caddy forum should help elaborate on my troubles thus far and upcoming.

Amp all 4 speakers on a 4 channel amp and since you're running all Kenwood look for a Kenwood Amp you should be straight with a 100x4 amp just go really easy on the gains for the front speakers.
This Kenwood amp will give your by 9's full power but you will have to be really gentle on the gains for the 5 1/4's http://www.sonicelec...elon-XR-4S.html
Price of your guess is direct out of the worehouse. And it´s a class D amp, for mids and high´s class AB sounds better.
I guess you http://www.ebay.com/...=item43afddbb14 very good SQ amp, or the bigger brother http://www.ebay.com/...=item1e5dae1ba5
The reason I suggested the amp I did was because he is running all Kenwood gear and it would make more sense to keep matching gear than change it up now. The soundstream reference would be dope but I am a stickler for matching my gear and I do that as much as I can.
yeah, thats what I'd like to keep going for. Until I get to the subs that is. I'll prolly even upgrade to a eXcelon headunit.

Lol, great yeah that would work great but again be careful with the gains on the front channels the 5 1/4's are going to hate you.
I might just go ahead and upgrade the 5 1/2" to these:
Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X1730P

the 5 1/2" i got now i already had to mock up sum pods for since my car came with this dreaded bose system and i dont like it so i'll be fiberglassing sum new ones, mine as well upgrade to a more suitable set.

Alright, so here's my current setup in my 97 Cadillac Eldorado ETC.
Kenwood DDX318 (HeadUnit)
Power Output:
Peak: 50 watts x 4 channels
RMS: 22 watts x 4 channels
Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X133 5-1/4" In Doors
RMS: 80 watts per pair / 40 watts each
Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X693 6"x9" In Rear Deck
RMS: 260 watts per pair / 130 watts each
Any way I can get 1 amp to put on all four speakers? Or should I leave the fronts running off the headunits power and only amplify the rear 6x9's?

I went out for my birthday Thursday night, and apon my travels back home on the express way the tierod on my front left wheel decided to break sending me into the concrete divider. I didn't suffer any injuries, and the police were there in minutes. needless to say they immediately knew i had been drinking and arrested me on DUI charges.
I was wondering if anyone here knows of the DUI process and what i should be preparing my self for or what actions i should be taking?

hey no file sharing enjoy your brief vacation.

epic-160 w/ the digital meter on it. its not as accurate as a termlab but it will give u a decent reading.
-
would the Uni-T UT81B Handheld Digital Multimeter Oscilloscope be a suitable tool to do this? this O-scope prices are crazy and i can find this one for under $200.
also thank you very much for your tutorials, very informative.

I kno the bose crap is tied into the anti-theft system & i read stories of the car randomly cutting out and refusing to start. I plan to pull it all out over the weekend tho.
as far as the other stuff also mounted behind the rear seat... i got a fuse box and a few other things i have yet to learn what they are. Thinkin i'ma have to pickup the service manual so i can learn what i can rip out.
also, still been havin issues with the new head unit retaining memory after its powered off. its wired to the 12v constant but i still think the bose brain box is messing with it so i'ma be running a 12v directly off the battery w/ a fuse. hopefully that solves that issue.
basically it comes down to having to rewire the car like it never had a audio system installed.
