Here's the plan (pending your approval :)):

Alpine 9813 HU
Infinity Kappa Perfects up front
JL Audio Stealth Boxes in the rear (Arriving 7/3 yay!)
All powered by an 85Wx4 amp

Do you all think this will work? Can I really use a 4 channel amp to power the Stealth Boxes too? And finally, does anyone know of a site with a write up on how to get those speaker wires from the HU to the amp underneath the carpets and all?

Thx,

Pat

Pat -

use the search button f-face ;) :D ... Preppy and I have a thread on this ... we are going to do it together ... (not in that way you sick perv :confused: ) ... we can do an installation day ... but, I'm making a custom amp rack ... it might be fun ... you should consider it ...

I think honestly, that's not enough power for your stealths ... but what the hell do I know ... :biglaughb ... I think it depends on the amplifier ... is that 85 watts RMS at 12.5 volts or 14.4 volts?

Just make sure to have your RCA cables, wiring harness, antenna adaptor, crimping or soldering kit, hex keys .. socket drivers 3/8, and you should be ready to go.

Running the wires should be fairly straightforward ... I've probably read at least 400 pages on how to install this crap by now ...

Sorry... I really should have done a search and I will. But I wanted to know what you guys thought about my specific setup, so I asked... no pressure to reply.

This (http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-tq4BaAC8Goz/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=3&g=120&I=235USB4085&o=m&a=0&cc=01&avf=N) is the exact amp I am thinking of getting. I don't really know what the difference between 12.5v or 14.4v is since I'm new to all of this.

Thx for your help though,

Pat
