Hello, I am about to do a very large build and needed some help with wiring components to my 4 channel amp. I will need expert advice.
My available equipment includes:
Deck: Pioneer DEH 80PRS
3 sets of RCA outs, Left/Right Channel equalization, can be ran active or passive.
4 Channel Amp: (nameless)
1 ohm stable stereo mode, assume enough power for any wiring config
Speakers:
Tweets: 5 sets (10 tweets) with optional 4 ohm passive crossovers
6.5s: 3 sets (6 speakers)
8s:2 sets (4 speakers)
Car: Pontiac Grand Am-Sedan
4 doors with small door panels. Rear deck tray will be sealed off from cabin, so speakers will not be able to run free air (correct me if I'm wrong)
I have thought for many hours about how to wire all speakers on the 4 channel while still keeping my Left/Right and Front/Rear channel separation. I would like to run my head unit in active mode for the best equalization possible. However, I believe my only option is to run the passive crossovers. I want to have the best sound stage possible. I can and will fabricate any fiberglass panels necessary.
My plan is to put 3 6.5s and 1 tweet in each front door and 2 tweets in each A-Pillars. I will run a passive crossover between the tweets and 6.5s. The 3 sets will be wired together on the front channels of the amp (each channel will run 3 6.5s and 3 tweets with the passive crossover). For the rear, I want to have either 2 8s in each rear door or run all four on the rear deck. I do not want any tweets in the rear.
Please let me know if you have any other wiring suggestions for the optimal setup. Thanks for your help
