Need To Connect Amp To Speakers..

[Zaver]

Hey guyz, I have a soundstream 2 channel Amp [260W] and i used to run my subwoofer off it.. But recently i have removed my subwoofer and still have the amp in the car, i will not be putting my sub back so i was wondering whether i could connect 2 speakers to the Amp thats already in the car and would it make a difference...

And if i should connect the amp which speakers should i connect it to...

Another thing i wanted to know,i am planning on doing a bit of sound deadning to my car but was thinking of only doing the front doors, what do u guyz recommend is the most important 1st...

Cheers!!

I'm surprised you could effectively run a sub off a 2 channel amp with that sort of output. Depending on what sort of speakers you have in the car I would generally recommend wiring the amp to the front speakers. My setup just runs a 4 channel Alpine amp bridged to 2 channels and only powering a good pair of front speakers with crossovers and tweeters then I have a monoblock running 2 x 12 alpine's in the boot and the sound is near perfect, not sure about how it sounds in the back of the car but had no complaints so far and considering its my car and im usually the one driving it I figure it needs to sound best for me..

Big thing to think about is if you are running the front or front and rear just off the deck they are probably getting a feed of 50W max so if they are decent speakers they are probably massively underpowered and could sound a lot clearer and nicer and be able to handle alot higher volume off an amp.

A good test if you dont wanna run all the cable and shit through the car is just wire it 'outside' the car and see if you're happy with the output then go ahead with it.

Need advice or a hand mate gimme a yell, not an audio expert but wired all my cars myself and I got a 34gtt also.

cheers,

Well im guessing the Car is still on Stock speakers.... Front and back... Yea i thought it would get clearer... So can i connect it to only the front speakers or can i connect the rears and front speakers to the amp...

Im considering on chaning the speakers,but that might be a while so for now i just wanted a bit more clarity than wats there...

Wer r u from btw? U think id be able to do it myself, i really dont know anyhting about connecting systems...

I'm in Perth mate.. umm from memory when I took out the stock speakers in my r34 they werent anything special so I'm not sure how much more power they can handle.. you could connect just the front or just the back technically this is 2-Channel (I believe).. I suppose you MIGHT be able to put left back and front together to left on the amp and right front and back together and do the same.. Don't know how effective this would be and you would lose the features of the deck and being able to tune it properly, fade it from front to rear speaker etc.

Umm.. Yeh you could probably do it yourself.. I taught myself, its frustrating but rewarding if it works out.. The biggest thing for you would be deciding where to put the amp.. In the car might be easier but I dont like the idea of an amp on my floor in the car or under the seat.. So my amps are in my boot which means I had to run wires from (in my case) Cable from the battery through the firewall under the carpet and the back seat and into the boot. Cable from the deck to the boot and cable from the boot to the front doors...

Oh an another tip, get decent quality wires don't get budget stuff it will cause you more headaches. Also try and run the speaker/amp wires down the OPPOSITE side of the car to your power cable. Generally speaking audio cabling is shielded but I found in my old car I used to get buzzing because I had wired them on the same side due to lazyness Lulz..

Any questions man ask away, like I said I'm far from an expert but I've received compliments on the sound of my system and I enjoy it which is the main thing.
