  1. what kind of amps do you have? I could give you an accurate layout but i need to know what you have..example

    If you have two 2 channel amp: first, bridge one amp to the sub. The next one is kind of tricky cause you will need to change the wiring. Connect the tweeters to the front speakers in series. Should give you a 8ohm load depending on speakers. next connect the front speakers the the rear speakers in parallel. Then connect the rear speakers to the amp like you were running one pair only(parallel). This should give you a 2ohm load per channel and making it safe to run in stereo. Connect the RCA jacks to each amp(Front,Rear for sub) If you stereo does not have 2 pairs of jacks then check to see if your amp have an "out" pair of RCA outputs. If it does then connect the rca jacks there and run them to the other amp. Like I said, Tell me what you got so i can accurately tell you how to hook it up.


  2. If the amp you got is a mono amp and you hook up 4 door speakers it'll probably be either too little resistance for the amp to run or too much for the amp to match the RMS of your 4 speakers. If it's a 2 channel you'll want to just hook 2 of the speakers up to the amp. and if it's a 4 channel you can hook up all 4 of your speakers.  To hook them up you'll need a power distribution block, a ground ditribution block and either one pair if the amp is mono or stereo or 2 pairs if the amp is a 4 channel to run off of the head unit.
