Hi All,
Thanks for your help, This is my second attemp to rewire and setup my car. The first setup wasnt that good, and it was aimed to listen radio basically. I am getting bit more serious now. Here is what I recently purchased.
Kenwood Cd & Mp3 Player, 50WX4, Model KDC-5023
MTX AUDIO 6 1/2``, 2 WAY Full Range Speaker System, 300W RMS, MODEL TXC6.1
MTX AUDIO THUNDER 6`` X 9`` DOME-AXIAL, 3 WAY Full Range Speaker System, 100W RMS, MODEL 6903
MTX AUDIO 12`` SUPERWOOFER, 400 WATTS RMS, MODEL T7512-44 (Dual 4OHM Voice Coil)
MTX AUDIO 12`` SUPERWOOFER, 400 WATTS RMS, MODEL T7512-04 (Single 4OHM Voice Coil)
As you can see, I am missing the amplifier/s, this is to be purchased soon, however, I havent finalised my decision yet. I have few questions with my setup, Many thanks for your help again.
Question 1) Can I wire these 2 woofers together? I am bit confused due to difference in voice coil (one is single and another is dual). If it is possible to wire together, would be better of wiring together, or keeping it separate in boxes? How do I wire it together and what ohm should I set up to?
Question 2) This is the first time I am using crossovers (which come with front component speakers), although I have done my research to understand what it does, I am bit confused in terms of wiring it through amplifier. The crossover has 8 input/output outlets. (TW- TW+ WF- WF+ INTW- INWF- INTW+ INWF+). TW- TW+ is for tweeter, WF- WF+ is for the speaker, INTW- INWF- INTW+ INWF+ is for amp/s, depending on single or biamp configuration, outlets have jumpers. The point I dont understand here is where is the front-right (+/-) cables from headunit connected to? To amplifier RCA inlets? If yes this means that I cant power; subs and front component speakers from 1 multi channel amplifier, is this correct?
Question 3) I have never worked with an amplifier more than 2 channels. Can I wire subs and front speakers through a single amplifier? My answer to this question would be NO, however not sure. I am confused because I just cant imagine the wiring of different headunit speakers cables to a single amplifier, and then how will that be separated?
Questions 4) I cant seem to be able decide on amplifier, I want to go with MTX and stick to one brand. However, not sure how many amps and channels they should be. I was planning to have a 2channel amp for subs, and another 2channel amp to power the front components. Also I was going to run 6x9 from the deadunit. Is this makes sense? any suggestions.
Thanks for your time, your help is much appriciated, I have used the search function however, it just confused me more, I think trying to learn too much in such a short time. I am trying to get this ready for Autosalon show which is starting next Friday.

PS: I have bought a capasitor and 4ga wiring and few other bits and pieces, all from Stinger
