TIME FOR CAR AUDIO, Full ReBuild.

[jrdrew5]

so its came time where a have money to paint my car (rattle can) and a audio system, The car is a 1993 ford mustang hatchback lx.
so ive got a budget for the audio system of about 1300 bucks, And i need everything but mids-highs.
I have a set of 6.5 Memphis pr and 5.7 of the same front and rear.
so ive never bought serious stuff off line but i'm thinking about trying to buy this whole system from amazon, Ive been to several local shops getting estimate for the parts, I will install myself, so far i'm at 1300-1600 for parts at a local shop and thats lo class kicker, (nothing wrong with kicker).amps. and i built the same build only thing different is amps,box,tweeters, for 300 less on amazon.
link to cart here >>Amazon.com Shopping Cart << idk if yal can see that if not i will post individual.
So my questions are coming now,

1. Does anyone have any positive/negative comments on that build?
2. If i buy a 1ohm amp and run it at 1ohm do i need 1ohm sub and mids highs?
3. I also need a good multi amp install kit, does anyone have a suggestion?
4. (bass knob) since i listen to a variety of music some sounds good with bass some doesn't, so i want to run one, Is that a good idea?
Im sure others will come as i go but thats it for now, Thank you all in advance this is a wonderful knowledge sight and just all great people.
I look forward to your help.

1. As far as the equipment youre wanting to run, good choices.
2. Your sub and amp combo is good. and for the mids and highs as long as the ohm load doesnt drop below what the amp is recommended for youre good.
3. As for a multi amp install kit any kit will work youll just have to buy a distro block 2 fuse blocks. 0ga from the battery to the distro block with fuse between the battery and distro no more than 18in from battery, 4ga from the distro block to each amp with a fuse in between the distros and amps.
4. You dont need one but if u want to run it u can..

If you have any questions pm me and ill help you out!!

2.(i guess im gonna run the mids and highs at 2 or 4 ohms idk how to wire down in ohms tho so im screwed there)

3.

3.(so all together 2 inline fuses down the 0 gauge, and 2 fused distro blocks or, 2 more inline fuses after the blocks?

4. You dont need one but if u want to run it u can..

If you have a good aftermarket stereo it should have sub control on it. No need to run a bass knob. To get a 4ohm speaker to 2ohm you would have to parallel the speakers. In order to do that you need two speakers or dual voice coils. If you are doing this with say the fronts, you connect both positive terminals together on the amp and bothe neg terminals together on the amp. That would only be using one channel off the front though. You would only have one channel working so from the stereo you would only have either a right or a left that is actualy hooked up. If this were the case and you were only hooking up for mids you could get a two channel amp and run your fronts on the left channel, bridged at 2 ohms and your rears on the right channel at 2ohms. Then if you would want to fade you would use the balance from the deck to control front to back.
