kentb Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 i have a kicker zx350.4 and im planning to put the infinity comps in front and 2 way speakers on the back. how should i wire the speaker wires? should i just run the speaker wires up to the headunit and just connect it to the wires that connect to the wire harness? (the one going to my factory speakers) if i do that. i'm worried the preexisting wires will be too small. and won't power 90w rms btw. my speakers are rated 2 ohms at 90w rms..

kentb Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 you just run speaker wire from the speakers straight to the amp so i can't use the wires from the wiring hardness in the back of the headunit?

Mr. Darkjustice Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 so i can't use the wires from the wiring hardness in the back of the headunit? if your speakers are 2 ohm its a really bad idea. the head unit is only made for handlin 4 ohm speakers. plus why do that when you have an amp lol. you just run the wires to the amp, rcas to the stereo, and a remote wire. and voila(assuming you ran power wire and ground of course lol) Fusion With A Stetsom 4k2d on 2 DC XL 15s tuned to 31hz and Subs and ports forward The Revolution Was Not Televised But There Is This Thread(clicky) Dr Merkenstein is my 360 gamertag and my profession.

subnoize Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 what you need is a line out put converter and i would not even run the speaker off the amp your just going to blow them i do not think you can wire them in series either because they components right ? what i would say is dump them on some one else. i have talk to quite a few people in sales and they have had nothing but returns on the infinit and jbl products. because they went to two ohm. this is were once every one seen the show unique whips. they went with infinity and jbl Harmon international because they were using it. so harmon international said no way were not going to do it sell to all these people so they screwed them by selling them 2 ohm speakers. kinda like jl audio did a wile back with not selling online and when they would only sell to their retailers etc... find some thing in the 4 ohm range and if their 90 rms divide the wattage buy 2 to get the speaker wattage.any ways that about all the advice i can give.

kentb Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 it says on the box that the comps are rated 2.65 ohms... i'm confused.. why would it blow? its rated 90w rms and my amp outputs 90w rms at 2 ohms. and why would i need a line ouput converted? i have rca outs on my head unit.. please help me New System 2 10" Fi SSD, Sundown 1500d Build I build and design enclosures(cheap price), PM ME Kicker L7 Navigator(plexiglass, fiberglass, aeroport) Build BTL 18" Escalade(plexiglass, battery tray) Build http://www.kentbaudio.com Old System Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subnoize Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 those speaker unless you already did the math and are telling me there 90 watts each. i assuming there 45 watts each even if you try to set the gain it going to sound like @ss and more then like pop the coil. to much power going to them twice what you need. yes the rca's in the hu will work.
