The goal is clean sounding stereo set up with what I already have...


Rig 1984 4runner

Audio

Head unit: Old Alpine

Speakers:
4" DEI Speakers in stock dash location
6" Kicker Speakers in front Doors
10" Elemental Designs slim in a custom sealed enclosure

Amps
1 MTX 2 Channel
1 Other 2 Channel Amp I forget the name.

I am not an audiophile nor do I want to dump any real money into this system..

I do have some peal and stick laid down in the front cab and there is some carpet foam in the rear of the vehicle.

So my real question is how should I wire this all up?

4"s and 6" off one amp and the 10" off the other?


thanks

 

does your alpine have power?

if so, maybe run the 4" speakers off of that.

then run the 6" off of an amp.

run the 10" off of the other amp.

have fun!

Yeah the head unit is powered

 

^^^ what he said.

 

Hey bud!

I actually had better luck with my alpine(back in the day) when I ran a 4 Channel with crossovers from 2 channels to the 2-4"ers and 2-6x9's and the other 2 channels to the dual 10's. The amp I had I was able to 'dial it in', regarding power to certain speakers, etc., ...so I went with like 60% to the subs and 40% to the other 4 in the front and back seats. Just the 2 channels to those 4 speakers made HUGE difference with an 800W 4 ch amp.

Since you already have what you have(which would be better), I would put the more powerful amp to the sub and other amp to the 4 speakers(can you dial that amp in at all?)

 

Being able to tune each set of speakers independently is the key to a good sounding system.

 

YEPPPPPPPPPP! lol.... MISS my Alpine system I had in my 70 CST Blazer.... SUPER CLEAN sound!

 

Hopefully I can put in the Amp today
