thanks for the help.
car audio was my first hobby I wish I was in your shoes lol
Wool insulation is very mold resistant, I won't bore you with links.
So long as there is no risk go for it
Understood on the battery power connection. Where can I find those distribution blocks? Everything I search for looks like plastic garbage. I found some made by XS that is similar.
I bought stuff from this guy back in the day verify you get the right one for your battery terminals
I'm pretty sure the alternator is 220 amps. I'm not looking for front row Metallica volume so I think it will be under 1,000 watts of power so I think I'm okay but we'll see. It's only going to be 2 speakers in the door, 2 tweeters in the dash, and a subwoofer (a smallish one).
1k rms is a lot do the math it's half of your capacity if you max it out
You lost me with the "tap into it from the back of the headunit so you can grab 4 channels..." Because I am using the factory headunit I will not have RCA jacks behind the head unit. So I either have to take the speaker wires behind the headunit and use an LOC to convert to RCA and then RCA to the amp OR get an amp that has speaker level inputs.
chop the speaker wires behind the head unit and go loose wire to rca so you're sourcing all from one spot and not running wire from all over the place. Kicker should take speaker signal straight also a dsp would have RCA and usually are small enough to drop behind the radio.
Then run new speaker wires from the amp to the door speakers. Then I was going to use the disconnected center channel speaker and run that as audio to the powered subwoofer
perfect
unless the amp I get has just an audio out (I'm not sure if this is even a thing).
im lost lol
I also now understand I have to have a signal wire to tell the amp and maybe powered sub to turn on. I can work this out with Crutchfield. I've pretty much have a high level picture of what I need to do but feel free to keep throwing thoughts/ideas it is helpful.
you need
power
ground
amp turn on
signal from source
wire out to speakers
you got this I need a nap
