just making sure.. i know now though. my new amp is installed... marvelous imo. pulled the deck out, ran the rcas, installed the distrobution block, wired everything up etc. only problem i had was that i don't have a powerful drill so i had to pay a shop $10 to ground my new amp. other than that, it was fuckin gravy. I plugged up one of my old blaupunkt speakers and played with the gain. i was astonished to find out that going from 22rms to 50rms really improved the way those speakers sound. i can't wait until i get my memphis speakers on it.

RE Comps or the CDT's from thezeb.com would be somethin to consider if they still have them. Also I'll throw out the Alpine Type S components as they're suppose to sound very good for the price.

i'll make it work i swear. at worst, i'll pick up some more from the shop that'll probably be installing them (why am i having a shop install them? car panels > me. i usually break em.)
Anyway.. today i went to bestbuy and got a 4 channel alpine amp. going to run (hopefully) components up front and my memphis speakers in back. amp's going in tommorow.. with or without speaker wire. I'll be happy if i get the amp to turn on. I gotta figure out how to wire all this crap up though. i took a look at the speaker terminals and that shit looks like a real pain.

my amp, a alpine mrp-240.

so the BIG QUESTION i have for you guys is, what are some decent components i can get for around $!50? i'd prefer components, but if i can't, im just going to get some decent JL coaxils.

the last 4channel amp i put in was in a dodge dakota quad cab and the amp was under the rear seat and i used 65ft of wire in that small cab.

I would advise about 50' for the fronts. You will have some leftover...

by lotas » Sun Oct 30, 2005 10:05 pm

Yeah 30ft is nothing, might want to do what Jszar suggested and reorder.

by Jszar » Sun Oct 30, 2005 9:36 pm

yeah man, dont forget that there are a lot of bends and turns when routing the wire....it adds up fast. if you want to get a good idea of how much you really need, put everything where its planned on going, then use yarn or some string, and route it through. then pull it all out, measure it, and add a good 20 ft on there for mistakes, and stripping lengths.
