    EXACTLY the video I wanted to see!!! Not only am I getting ready to connect my 4-channel amp and 12" 4-ohm sub, but also plan on running my 4 front & rear speakers like you showed the 5-channel set-up. What really made me smile when I clicked on this video was the fact that you showed the connections to the exact same amp I just bought on eBay! At least it sure looks the same. Mine is the Kenwood KAC-8406 class A/B 4-channel. I've run amps with this same configuration in the past and it worked out perfect. I just like to make sure any new amp I buy is capable of the 5-channel hookup. Looks like this Kenwood is. My front and rear speakers are all four Clarion SRG-1623R which I purchased a few years ago based NOT on their 260w maximum power handling but for their high frequency response! These little speakers go all the way up to 30,000Hz with was about the highest highs I could find any 6-1/4's going up to in my online comparisons before I bought them. They just don't do much in the bass department. In my Chevy Prizm, I was able to cut out the 6-1/4" holes in the rear deck to make room for the huge bridges of the Clarion SRG-6953R 600-watt 5-way 6x9's. Those were the BEST sounding 6x9's I've ever heard in any of my cars in 40+ years! People used to ask me all the time what kind of subs I was running, when all it was were a pair of rear 6x9's! All my speakers were connected to a Boston GT-40 4-channel amp through a Clarion EQS-746 passive equalizer. ANYWAY... back to the reason for my comment! I was VERY thankful for your video! It showed me that my newest Kenwood amp IS capable of a 5-channel hookup! Oh, by the way, NICE touch on the making of your new wire terminals!

    Did u make the split sleeves you put on the wire terminals or did you buy them? If purchased where can I get those at. The most difficult issues I run into is connecting terminals to my wires. Idk why I have issues in this department cause I have the right tools and supplies but for some reason terminals come off or won't fit in the hook ups on the amps,etc... my system.went down on me piece by piece over the last 2 weeks so I threw a couple mismatched brand of subs in my truck temporarily so I'd still have music.

    Glad they didn't go into dual voice coil subs along with what they did here. Good info for people out there who are new to car audio or just don't understand how this stuff works. For me it was mundane but MECP certified back in the 90's so... While car audio is just a hobby for me now, back then I thought I might want to install for a living. Installed on the side for several years while working in a electronics store. Got married and car audio took a back burner finally ending up operating tractors. Working on a install in our Hyundai Sonata. Have the double din touchscreen in running the factory speakers currently. Sub box with 2 Fosgate dual voice coil 12's is done and I'm working on the amp rack with EQ now. Once that's done I'll install all the door speakers and run wires from the amp for those. After that I plan to play around with some LED lighting. I've got the light strips and controllers already. Just waiting on the switches and several reed relays to show up for that. Our daughter is getting handed down the Mazda with 2 Boston Acoustic 10's and Soundstream amps.

      I just run a bigger gauge power wire to a distribution block and run power from there to amps. But ALWAYS ground each amp separately, not to same screw. VERY IMPORTANT is that you use a relay to turn on more than 1 amp! The turn-on lead from a head unit is very low voltage and not designed to turn on multiple items like amps. You'll fry the turn-on circuit of your deck trying to turn on more than one amp. As for grounds, what I do because I'm weird is run a large gauge ground to another distribution block then run grounds from the block to each component. Wish I could post a picture of how I do it! But think link MIGHT work to show my odd usage of distribution blocks! Even one for turn-ons!

      The remote turn-on lead is SO low power it would NEVER induce noise into an RCA cable! Really. Most are like 0.5 volts max! But the one important thing most people don't realize that IS a true fact is you NEVER want to use your head unit's remote turn-on lead to power up more than ONE thing! EVER! You'll fry that circuit in seconds trying to draw that much power from it! Instead, you always run your turn-on lead to a relay! Then power whatever you want off the relay! Myself, I'm weird and old, so I came up with my own personal idea on the use of relays and distribution blocks: I use 1 relay, but the power from it goes to a seperate distribution block for to amp turn-on leads, 1 distribution block to make ONE ground point than run 4 grounds to all the stuff, and a third distribution block puts main power from the main fuse to each of 4 components instead of trying to connect a bunch of power wires! May seem weird, but it sure doesn't hurt anything! And it not only looks cool, but gets a LOT of comments and it DOES work! i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh100/Hairball98498/98%20Stratus%20stereo/P5110189.jpg

      Well you have a few options, you can use a 5 channel or 4 channel. Or get a monoblock dedicated to your subwoofers and a 4 channel for the speakers. You could also power the front speakers with the head unit or with the new amplifier.

    • @TheBoostinbobby
      @TheBoostinbobby 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends how many come off your head unit. Should at least run a sub rca and voice rca. Some head units have front and rear rca outputs for voice. Some have only 1 set. Run 1 set rca's for the subwoofers and a second for the vocal amp. If you do not have a 3rd or rear channel rca out the head unit you use Y adaptors to turn the 2 voice rca's into 4 to plug into the Amp (just make sure you keep left and right separate and plug into proper rca inputs to the Amp.

I bought this car that has jbl speakers installed(2 tweets, 2 front, and 2 rear) and it had an amp and was wired for a single sub. he had to take the sub and amp out when he sold it to me so all I need is to plug an amp and sub. problem is I have no idea what amp to get. he told me to get a 4 channel but when I asked him what amp he used it was a 5 channel one. I'm so confused.

      Its a 2002 Subaru impreza outback sport. I bought it last week form a guy. It actually doesn't have tweeters but still has after market front pair and back pair. My issue is that It was wired to subs and a amp. When the guy sold it to me he had to take the amp and sub out. So now I have a ton of wires under the drivers seat(where the amp was) and I cant play any music until I plug them into an amp. That's why I'm really confused on what amp to get.

    This just isn't complete enough for me. Those wires going under the screws on the amp. Where do they go? What are they attached to? Where does the 8 speaker wires on the head unit go? Do the speaker wires from the speakers hook up to the amp? Where do they hook up to on the amp? So far I can't find any videos that answer what questions I have. They all assume. Even if they posted a pictorial diagram, I wouldn't need a video.. Easiest thing to do. Spread all components out on a big table like surface and attach the wires. Takes away all the mystery.

    • @Qualitymobilevideo

      This is a to demonstrate the wiring options, you have to decide how you are going to run your speakers depending on loading. The wires go to the speakers but you are presented with several wiring options when using multi-channel amplifiers, do you want to run four speakers and a sub? That is a three way setup, do you want to run four speakers? That is a four channel setup. What are you stuck on?

Is there connections from the Amplifier to the speakers? My install is all to be new, I am not including any stock components. I will probably be purchasing a 5 channel amplifier just for the ease of making the necessary connections and I won't have to worry about bridging. I bought a bunch of speaker cables. They have those RCA plugs on them. I guess that was probably a waste of money. I haven't really seen anyone using them. Thanks for responding.

    So for wiring speakers in parallel you can just connect both speakers to one channel? I've also seen it done where you make the parallel connection though the speakers terminals and I'm guessing you instead have one set of wires going to the wattage source. Essentially the same thing correct?

    The speakers I have are the MB Quarts for the front. Rated at:-
    PEAK POWER HANDLING 120 watts
    RMS POWER HANDLING 80 watts
    IMPEDANCE 4 ohms
    For the rears I have the Focal AUDITOR R-100C - 4" 10cm 2 Way Car Coaxial. Rated at:-
    Max.Power
    120W as pair
    60W each speaker
    Nom.Power: 30W RMS
    Channel 3/4 is straightforward. I'll connect the underseat 8" subs to them. My question is for channel 1/2. Can I connect the front and rears in parallel? So, front and rear left to channel 1 and front and rear right to channel 2? What sort of load will be presented to the amp? And what would I set the gains to considering there is a difference in the nominal wattage between the focals and MB Quarts? Thanks

    My woofers front and rear are 100w 2.5 ohms(300w peak) and a 600w 2 ohm subwoofer. I did not bridge the connections I contacted the Fr + to it's positive and the Fr - to the fr- and so on for each speaker. I got some sound in my car mostly just the front and the rear sounds low but even the front sounds like it is lacking power.
