I need help with my speakers. want to put an amp on my 6 speaker system in my 1999 tahoe.?

brandon h

I have the stock 6 speaker system with 2 tweeters in my 1999 tahoe. Its 2 one inch tweeters, 4 6.5 door speakers both upgraded to handle 180 max and and in the very back there are 2 4x10 lanzar speakers that can handle 180 max and 90 rms. I was wondering what i should do to wire them up correctly and what amp i should use.. I know how to wire up amps and head units and subs and so on. how ever i have never did this on regular door speakers and so on.. all the speakers are 4 ohm impedance also.. Thanks guys..

Answer
If the speakers can handle 50 watts RMS you could get 2 channel amp per pair of speakers that puts out 50watts per channel and has a pair of through RCA's which basically means u can have multiple amps while only running one set of RCA's. I would suggest a Kicker zx150.2 per pair here's a link

You'll also need a 4 gauge amp kit and 2 distribution blocks that have one 4 gauge input and 4 8 gauge outputs each(one for power wires and one for ground wires) each of them will have to be secured down but the power can't be bolted to any metal in the vehicle. Also if your tweeters can handle more power than the other six speakers you might want to consider something like the zx200.2

New Speaker System?

Q. im kinda new to mobile audio sound and i need some help. I wanna get this jvc speaker system in my car because i dont wanna make any modifications to it. The kit includes Two 6 1/2" woofers (small i know but thats the size of the replacement)two tweeters and two crossovers. I wanted a good sounding system but at the same time i wont even be hearin it cuz i got a 94 honda prelude with a new cat back and exhaust headers , plus i dont want my shit to start vibrating or rattling. so my question is the system has a 300 watt max power, Will it sound vibrant deep and clear but not excessively loud and Do i need to buy an amp as well?
and what the heck is 2 and 4 channel amps.

Answer
jvc isnt very good. and its not 6.5" woofers, its a component set. the mid and tweeter are apart instead of a 2way or 3way speaker. do u need front and rear or just front speakers? if u run the speakers off an amp they will be much louder. u wont get bad rattles unless u run a big sub

what things to keep in mind before choosing to buy a 5.1 channel speaker system?

Q.

Answer
Here are a few things that I would look for:

Upconversion to HDMI/Component-traditionally, surround receivers are known for having a mariad of hookups. If you want to use your surround receiver for video switching, it usually requires multiple cables for each cable type connecting your television and receiver. Upconversion requires only one connection between the receiver and television. It upconverts the signal to the cable you desire-and in the case of HDMI or component, the upconversion is analog to digital.

Expandability and versatility-make sure your receiver has enough hookups for your devices (and the devices you may want to add). When done right, receivers can really simplify your entertainment system. I have found Onkyo receivers to typically have more inputs than most of the others. Make sure the HDMI ports are atleast v1.3 for ultimate compatibility. Also noteworthy-Bose systems do not use typical speaker hookups and are not compatible with other manufacturers.

Room size/Necessity-Make sure your surround receiver/speaker system will be adequate for the room. If you have downstairs neighbors, you'll want to avoid down-firing subwoofers. You may even need to decouple your sub from the floor to avoid complaints. If you like to watch movies loudly, make sure your system can accomodate with clean sound.

Future-proofing-Make sure the receiver supports atleast the format you prefer (atleast Dolby Digital or DTS). If you plan on making a jump to Blu-Ray soon, you'll want something that can support TrueHD.

Just some of things to look for...Hope it helps.

A good 5.1 channel surround speaker system with optical digital input?

Q. Friends, I am seeking to purchase a good 5.1 channel surround speaker system having an optical digital audio input. Please suggest me.

Answer
JBL 5.1 Channel SCS145.5 Surround Cinema Speaker System work great. Other then the need to switch out the stock speaker wire for something a little more hefty like say, 12 gauge, the sound quality is far more then I expected. The powered subwoofer is Ok, but I wanted something heavier - at least a 10". I got a 12", 400 watt subwoofer, and I think my neighbors don't like me anymore :) I would recommend JBL speakers over BOSE speakers any day!
