ok, here is the deal, I don't know anything about car audio, by anything, I mean anything. For me, just pressing play and stop is basically the extent of my knowlege. BUT... I figure I need to get a new system just to get by at shows. I decided on decking my car out momo style so I am going to get the new polk/momo speakers and the 12" sub.
My question is, what else do I need to get for this system to work well, keeping the same quality that was intended for the speakers. What level should I run everything at? any suggestions or anything at all will greatly help, even if it is just to tell me how stupid I really am. Thanks, ¤Chrí§¤ Oh yeah, it also has a crossover, I don't even know what that is. |

Check your head unit to see if it has the RCA sockets at the back.
If not, you'll need to change the head unit in order to run an AMP. (I recommend an Alpine head unit - specialist manufacturer of autoradios). If it has the RCA sockets then you don't need to change the head unit. You'll need an 4 channel AMP, RCA cord, 2-4 RCA cord extension. The 2 into 4 RCA cord extension gives you the possiblitiy to use the head units fade/balance speaker system control and also to be able to connect up a sub-woofer unit by bridging 2 of the AMP channels. Speakers (Oxygen, JBL, Vocal, ....) but to use the original 6GC speakers brackets they have to be 16.5cm diameter. I'm in the process of doing all this, so if you have any questions regarding installation, fire away. P.S. I have a wiring diagram of my set-up integrated into the standard 6GC wiring system. |
