i have a 440WRMS (880W peak) 2 ch, and a 400W peak (cant remember RMS) 2 ch.

i am gonna be running my 15" JBL off the 880W amp, and my 6x9's off the 400W amp. and i will soon have another 800W amp to power my components.

how do i connect the live? run 3 seprate lives from the battery to each amp, or one live wire and split it in the boot to each amp? also how do i connect the RCA's? as i only have one comign from the back of the had unit, but i have 2-3 amps.

cheers

Run a 4g from the battery and get a 4g-4x8g splitter bout 20 quid. 4g into the splitter and you can run up to 4 8g wires from it, job done

you can here. Would recommend ditching the 6x9s, they will only interfere with the sub. Having comps and sub sound good enough. If you still want some sound coming from the rear, put some 2-way coaxials in but turn the level down.

why will 6x9;s interfere?

i have no back seats. the sub is behind the front seats, components in the doors, and i was gonna put my 6x9's on each side of the sub (like in ali G's R5 GGT)

essentially you are mixing the woofer sizes, the sound will not be as crisp. the 6x9 are trying to produce 3 sets of frequencies at once, whereas your comps and sub all have to deal with one set each hence better sound quality.

i will keep it real mate what about using capacitors on the 6x9;s so they produce less bass? and turning the bass right down on the amp? will that be allight? i aint to bothered about sound qualitly, i just want loudness.
