Advice needed?

[V6&V8SHO]

I want to install a rockford fosgate component system and i am wondering if I have my sub, seperate tweeter, and two rear speakers powered by an amp, then would the comp. sys have enough power from the stock premium sound head unit?

Can you clarify on the "comp. sys"?

If your going to get them. I would not run it off the stock head unit. I would get a another amp to run them and the rear ones off.

I don't know much about the theory of wiring speakers and stuff, but I'd think running your subs and and form of mid/highs (rear deck speakers) off the same amp isn't a good thing...

Component speakers usually require more power than anything else to be ran. I have a MOSFET 45 Pioneer and it's still not powerful enough to REALLY pound my speakers. It will sound like crap me thinks. Run the component set off a seperate amp and maybe your rears off your deck. or just get a 5 channel amp.

You have a couple of options here. For one, I wouldn't run the comp system off of the deck because the rule of thumb when building sound systems, is that too LITTLE power is often more harm than too MUCH. What amps are you using? I know that Rockford makes a nice multi channel amp that could probably power the entire system adequately. I believe it is the 500ix, but I could be wrong. You could power your fronts and rears off of 2 channels and the subs from a third, since you can run them in mono. Good luck.

It wouldnt matter if you had the back speakers running off of the amp or not. Since the comp. sys would still draw more power. I would rather run the comp. sys off of an amp because what will happen is that the back will have more power and the front will not match in sound. The best way to do it is buy a 4channel amp and run the speakers off of that and run the subwoofer off of another. Then the only thing affecting equality would be the speakers which is not much so long as they are comparible. This how I have mine set up.

I have the preimium sound speakers in my car. The rears are run to the amp. This makes a huge difference in them and makes them comparable to high end speakers. I have my sub and seperate fidelity tweeter going to the amp also. SONY 4 channel amp.
SUB is kicker seperates and tweeter is PAC

For what it's worth, not too sure if we're talking about a stock deck or not, but...

I'm running my fronts and rears off my deck right now. It's an Alpine CDA-7875, 60Wx4...

I realize that's only peak power, but, the speakers are loud and clean.

I eventually plan on amping the speakers, but until then, they're on the deck.

just a note on component systems... the farther away the tweeter is from the cone... the longer the signal takes to get to the tweeter... so, the tweeter in some cases has actually missed the beat! which RF components did you buy?
