G6 Help!

The only thing I would change is the RE-Q for a audiocontrol LC6i. The mtx only offers 2.5 volts full range to the amp. Dont forget you will need to purchase power wire from the battery to the amp as well ground wire and fuse holder. All else looks good.

 

the diff is the size of the wire, the lower the number the BIGGER the wire is, bigger is better. You will also need a battery terminal to hook up your power wire. I think you are off to a nice start. Save up some money so you can get a subwoofer, it makes a huge difference.

 

for a subwoofer you need to buy a seperate amp. There are all kinds of them out there, they start at about 150 up to about 5000 dollars. Alpines type E is a nice starting point, if you can afford it look at the type R. Just wondering if there is a reason why you want all Alpine? If you really like your music a subwoofer is the best thing you could buy for your car, it makes a huge difference in sound quality. You wont be dissapointed.

 

just wondering who is going to install all this for you?

 

no keep the 4 channel for your speakers and yes a 1 channel amp (mono) is fine for the subwoofer

 

no you will not need another power wire, it will be connected to your battery and will be run to your trunk. You will need something called a distribution block, which you connect the 1 power wire into and then you can connect 2 power wires out to your amps. It will also have 2 fuses in it for safety. You also should have a fuse close to your battery. Then the amps will have a short ground wire from each one. Im sure your installer will help you with the block and fuses, dont worry they are not expensive. As for the processor the one you got LC6I (right) is fine, it is a 6 channel, its a very nice unit and will give you a great signal to your amps. You will have a nice system when your finished.

 

The power kit you are buying might have one in it, not sure though. All you might need is just a small ring terminal or a complete battery terminal. Stinger makes really nice ones but to be honest just let your installer decide what you need, I dont want you to be spending extra $$$ on something that you dont need. You can also check out knukonceptz.com and look at their car audio stuff, they really have top notch stuff at really good prices. I really think you will have a nice system when you are done, please let us know how it turns out, and of course if you have any other questions just ask. Just to warn you, car audio is like a drug, once you start you cant stop.

 

I would stay away from KnuKonceptz.com. I ordered 2 distribution centers for the boat and after the install realized we didn't need them. They are charging me a %10 restocking fee. That's bull$hit! Go with another vendor that doesn't charge the restocking fee!

 

i understand your anger about the restocking fee, and yes it is bull, but please do not thread jack unless it is to help this person out.

 

You have a 12 volt and ground inputs, the 12 volt can come from your distribution block, then just run the ground wire. When you connect the speaker wires it will detect the signal and turn the unit on and when you turn the radio or ignition off it will turn the unit off, its called signal sensing, they do it like this since most factory head units dont have a remote turn on. In case you do have a remote turn on you can just hook up that, it should sense it either way. It also has a remote out which you can hook up a wire to the output and connect that to you amps remote turn on. Hope all goes well.

 

Well what amps did you purchase?

 

If you can run 4 guage from the block to the amps, but 8 is okee dokee if your not running tons of power. I am on my way to Vegas tomorrow so if i dont answer your questions im not ignoring you, im just not here, ill be back Friday.
