Hey guys, Im about to undertake an overhaul of my new focus' ICE. Ive purchased a REF7541A 4 ch amp and a set of KAPPA680.7CS speakers for noise. A sub will be added later once funds replenish themselves. I had a few questions maybe some of you could answer for me. Ive been reading the forums like mad trying to gain all the info I can.
Im a little hazy on the use of LOCs, never used one before because I had an aftermarket deck and EQ setup. I want to keep the stock stereo to maintain the lines inside, so Im thinking the LOC route is best.
Now... heres where I could use a little advice. Should I get the 2 or 4 ch LOC, and will I run the main speakers through it, or just the sub?
My idea was to run the front seperates off 2 channels of the amp, and bridge the other 2 for the eventual sub (how I had my last setup) and keep the rear speakers (a set of pioneer multi-elements) on deck power for the hell of it. Is this a dumb idea?
Also, real quick, Ive been reading the amp install section, and I was just curious what gauge wire most of you use for the power line from the battery post to the amp.
Thanks guys, love this place!
