New Car need some Advice :)

[Shawn.s.]

Okay I need some advice on some things im about to mention

First off heres my site to some pictures and a video to some what give y'all an idea at what im working with.

http://shawnshank.com/?page_id=161

Car is an 2012 Chevy Sonic LT Sedan ( I can get more specs if needed )

I have 2 kicker CVR 12" Subs Rms 400 Peak 800

Frequency Responce (Hz) 25-500

I have 1 Lighting Audio 1600MD Amp 1ohm stable but also 4ohm stable.

2 x 40fuse 40+40 = 80 * 100 = 800 W @ 4 Ohm 1,600 W @ 1Ohm

( http://www.lightning...?item_id=117876 )

I have 4 gauge wire Red = + Grey = -

I have a in-line converter witch is connected to the 2 rear door speaker's ( pictures on site )

Stock head unit ( because of ONstar ) :/

Stock door speaker's

I have 2 sets of Sony xplod ( xs-r1644)

270 W Peak 50 W Rms

4 ohms

Frequency Response (Hz) 60-23,000

I have one Dual (xpe2700)

The fuse on the amp is only 30 fuse x 100 = 300 W /2 = 150 w per chan give or take

_______________________________________________________

How I have the setup so far is Subs in trunk Faceing rear of car, Closed boxes and the ground as short as posable going to the back seat tie down bolts. Red wire runs to + on Bat with a fuse under hood next to Bat..

_______________________________________________________

Here is what I would like to do,

I would like to know how to tune this amp to be at 4 or 1 ohm and not overtake the power form the car and yet stil bump good... ( it is at 4ohm now)

I would like to use my little 300 wat amp that I have laying around for Sony xplod speaker's and ( Maybe ) the rear speaker's aswell but i have the inline converter in the way or should I just simply connect the coverter befor the 300 wat amp not after?

And I would like a nice amount of tweet and not so much Bass form the doors well because I have enough in the trunk....

I have 2 factory tweet's in the door trim...

Thanks Shawn

what ohms are the subs?

[Shawn.s.]

4Ohm Dual voice coil

[zydrix]

i should have asked this to. how do u have them wired?

[Shawn.s.]

The way the amp allows . + to + and - to - no bridge avaiable on this amp

there is a link to a way u could wire your subs to run your amp at a lower ohm load an get more power. i think this would work. but if im wrong im sure some of the people that know more then me will correct me

[Shawn.s.]

Would that work but the amp is not bridgable..

i have the subs as is now wired inside the box as 4Ohm i think one white post is joined to one non doted post

4ohm series

I been doing car audio for a few years but just start understand i bit of it since i started moving up to high end stuff... I'll try my best i guess someone can come correct me if i going off but....http://knowledge.sonicelectronix.com/tools/subwoofer-wiring/ This will help you with wiring the subs in series and parallel to get that 4ohm and 1 ohm as far as power Some may say its a small setup But do the BIg 3 it'll help with better battery charging and if it still not to your liking get a lil kinitek to put in the back that should solve it for your size setup. ANd you can use the converter simply after you ran the line to the input on one amp run another line from the output jack on the same amp to the input jack on the other. make sure the amp for you door speakers are set to high pass only that should take some of the bass out the door speakers

[Shawn.s.]

what im meaning by amp tune is the setting's on the amp its self i would like to keep it at the 4ohm for now unless you think it would be better to drop to 1ohm but i would have to add an bat right if i went to 1 ohm?

The cars Stock wire i think is at 8gauge right now

and im confused about the oput part your talking

so from my main 1600Md i should run Rca's to the 300W dual ? and just skip the HIgh level inputs ???

there is no high pass setting on this amp that i can find ...
