Well there is an arm sticking out of your battery, and I can't decipher any of those products except maybe that woofer is a fosgate.

What are your goals from this system?

Profile probably isn't the best amp to go with. If your on a real budget, then go ahead. The Kappa coaxials are good. The woofer is alright for entry level. I can't tell what the headunit or the blue coaxials are.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

Power wiring is waaaaaay too small. A 4 gauge line at minimum from the battery to the distro block and then 10 gauge line to either amp but preferably 8 gauge. Next if you have not bought a cd player yet, buy one that has 3 preouts on it to allow you to use the system properly and get rid of those nasty rca y cables. Yuck. I think that the arm sticking out of the battery is a nice touch and might start a new trend in the electronics industry.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

thanks for all feedback.

i have redraw the pic. my goal is to add the 4 ch amp to my current audio system. im trying to find the best and cheapest solution audio setup -- posted image.

i take this approch as my HU has only one pre-out jack, and i just want to make a simple au connection without pre-amp or electronic crossover since the amplifier itself have buit in crossover. one more thing, do i need to install relay.

please advice

Usually I do a relay after two points, so no, however if you do add anything else you should incorporate a relay.

My only other suggestion now, is to perhaps an upgrade your front speakers. They make the biggest difference in sound quality here. If you already have those co-axial speakers so be it, amp them. But if you are still in the market for speakers, invest in a nice compmonent set, don't worry about the rear fill so much.

Your overpowering your amp. Use the search tool and search "gain." You'll find a lot of good explanations for setting gains.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.
