Pioneer HU:

Amp: Legacy, 4 channel, 1000W
http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/pro...s_id/5837.html

Comps: Pioneer 17s

Sub: Pioneer 10"

Please let me know if the watt/current flow dosnt add up before i set my car on fire or something. And any tips on a better system (for the same money) would also be welcomed...
thanks

the headunit only has 1 pre-out, so you can only amp the sub, or you would need to use a splitter, which is enver a good idea. that means there is no point buying a 4 channel amp if you cant use all 4 channels.

the components are only 35w, which is pretty crap even to be run of the headunit. you want at least 50wRMS (only rms matters), although for amping you want 75-100wRMS.

the sub is fine, actually i like that particular sub it sounds better than you'd expect a 350w sub to be.

ok, so how many pre-outs do i need on my h/u?
and you say i definatly need some heavier components.
thanks for your help!

i thought a 4 channel amp used one input but i guess i could be wrong.

some amps have RCA through so you take the one pre-out to the input on the amp, then the through is the unaffected signal which you can take to another amp.

more pre-outs mean you have more control from the HU also though. eg. front/rear fade & sub volume.

so pre-out 1 could be used to amp front speakers. pre-out 2 could be for amped rear speakers (if fitted) or sub (if you set lpf correctly) and some HUs have a sub out also which i guess has some form or lpf anyway although probably still want to use the one on the amp too.

your best bet is buy a fusion ca-cd500 its £150 but has loads of features and has 3 pre out which is best one for front speaker, one for rear and one for sub, i dunno what ur budget is but ive spend nearly £1000 on my system and i have the head unit i just told u, kicker 15 inch L7 powered by a directed d2400 and two sets of jbl gto 6507 componants powered off of a 4 channel jbl gto-1004e, plus wireing kits and sill things, sound great plently of bass but not much boot space lol. but this is my choice hope u get some ideas

for your 4 chanel amp you need 2 pre-outs, one sub and one rear.

i would use a 4 channle amp to power componants and a mono block for the sub its the best combo plus u can use a 4 channle with 2 pre outs. one for front and one for sub all you do is your aux leads go into the front input of the 4 channle amp, there will be a output connection for the aux leads all u do is buy a short aux lead from the output and put it into the rear input if i can get some pics to show how its done ill post them soon

Splitting the RCA voltage lower the Voltage the lower the qulity of signal the amp receives but on such a system i dont think you would notice much of a difference.
