pioneer9412 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on here who has helped me out, but I need some more please. Ok so today I went and picked up my 4 SoundStream t-4 15's, SoundStream Pca 2000d, Clarion Apx4240, battery cap, and capacitor(the only reason there is a capacitor because it was free). I need you all to help make sure you don't see anything wrong with how this is all getting wired up. I drive a 02 Accord it has a stock 105 amp alternator and the big three has already been done. I have 0 gauge running from the Optima Red Top under the hood back to the battery cap in the trunk. It is going to be fused at the battery under the hood with a 250 amp fuse and then again after the battery cap with a fused 250 amp d-block. The d-block will have 2 four gauge wires with one going to each amp. The 2 amps will be grounded with another d-block going back to 0 gauge. I am only going to be running 2 of the 15's wired down to 1 ohm at 2000w RMS. They only have about 3 cubic feet each after displacement. The box is tuned to 34hz. All of my grounds have been sanded down to bare metal. MY QUESTIONS: 1. Should I even use the cap? 2. The clarion has settings for the front and rear with 2 rca inputs. Do I have to run 2 sets of rca's to run both door and rear speakers? I have 2 sets of rca's ran, but I was going to use one for the subs and one for mids and highs. 3. Do you see any thing that could be done better? Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy95 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Cap would probably not do anything. They seem to help when you already maintain voltage, not when it struggles. iirc.

merk_master Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 See if your headunit has a setting for rear to turn it to a subwoofer channel . Quote hopeful noob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeyrapboy Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Ditch the cap ONLY BECAUSE its not really going to help that much if that voltage is already struggling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioneer9412 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 See if your headunit has a setting for rear to turn it to a subwoofer channel . Yes I have 3 4v outputs, 1 front, 1 rear, and 1 sub. I just don't want to have to run a 3rd set of rca's lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01 KoN Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Everything seems about exactly how i have it but your running a little more watts than me and yes run the cap if you have to but what you really need is a batt or alt or expect some bad voltage drop, and go ahead and run another set of rca's imo Quote 2001 GMC Yukon Alpine CDA-9884 Fi Q 12" Rockford P1S48 Boston Components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioneer9412 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Can I just use a y splitter instead of another set of rcas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNKYOU007 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 You can run everything off of the front channel you just wont be able to fade front to rear, which most people dont do anyway. Some amps like my Cadence C9, you can run one set of RCA into it and it will take the setting from channel 1 and 2 and dupilcate it on channels 3 and 4. Some cannot do this and in that case just buy you a couple y splitters. You will need two 1female 2male y-splitters. Quote Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C. Arson d(-__-)b beer sucks...but i can bring some jose cuervo. Only problem is that it makes me horny and gives me the rams. So unless yall wanna fight and then have some great make up sex i will leave it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the same exact settings on both sides, 2 gains, 2 hpf filters etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
