i recently bought a kenwood ddx319 head unit... i was wondering if i would have any problems with the speakers/subs working... i also bought the PAC soem-4.. and the PAC wheel intergration

 

speaker and sub are factory btw

 

Everything will work fine if you use the stock amp. Thats the easiest way rather i'd say.

 

alright thanks

 

Whats the factory amp putting out? Wattage wise?

 

160 watts max. I used to know the wattage breakdown.

 

Okay so I went the shop that has done every car audio I've owned as he's known me since I was born... The Bose RMS wattage was 15x2 for the front drivers, 20x2 for the 2-way (yes they have tweeters), & 10x2 for the tweeters in the dash. Now this is only half the story. Hi-end car and home audio like Bose, Harmin, & ELS amps and speakers are 2-ohms which means it's equivalent to a system 320 watts max. This is why IF you're just looking to heighten the depth and clarity of Acura stereos, you want to drop in 2-ohm speakers. Infinity & JBL which are both owned by Harmin-Kardin offer their speakers 2-ohm. If you were to drop-in 4-ohm speakers using the stock amp, it would be like you only had an 80watt system. I hope this all made sense. :-).

 

Makes sense to me. Thanks for that info!

 

yeah makes sense to me... i found one of my old 12" JBL subwoofers from the old surround system in my living room... it had a bad am but kept the sub. my girlfriends dad gave me his old sub box and have the JBL in it. just need amp to power speaker. any ideas on how to run wires from trunk to h/u and battery. dont want to rip up the carpet or drill through my fire wall!!

 

For the battery wire, use one of the rubber grommets that goes between the firewall and the interior compartment.

 

Did you find any ??? I need help wiring an LOC
