Hello,
I am pretty much a car audio noob, but have experience with electrical and wiring.
I recently replaced the 4 door speakers with 65watt rms 3 way speakers. They are 4ohms
Would like to add a 2x12 kicker box with subs for the back.
I will obviously need to get an amp and a new single din head unit.
I am reading up on all of these things, but there is a lot of info and I am not sure what applies to my situation and what doesn’t.
Can anyone make some good recommendations as to how many ohms the kicker box subs should be? What type of amp? Which head unit?
Also I realize that I may have to upgrade the alternator and wiring as well.
I was thinking of mounting the amp to the kicker box itself for simplicity.
I do not really need many options on the head unit. AM/FM and a USB that would preferably charge a phone or iPod and also transfer the sound from the phone or iPod to the head unit.
I have Sirius pandora iTunes etc. on my iPod, do not use CDs or cassettes.
Thanks in advance!
