I know there are plenty of posts regarding basic wire routing and such - but since I have spent countless hours (as I'm sure most folks do) when it comes to picking out eq. that I am - well, pretty burned out searching for the basics.

So, here is what I have purchased to start the installation:

- a cheap 7"in LCD CD/DVD/MP3 HU
- Alpine PREH090 BBE Sound Cancellation and channel output increased from 2.5 volts to 7 volts.
- PPI PCX 480 4-channel amp - 2x80W and 1-320W mono for a sub
- CDT CL-61A component speakers

I would like to ask your opinions on the Alpine PREH090 unit...
- Has anyone added this between the HU and Amp?
- Any issues based on increased voltage and processing pre-amp?

Subwoofer selection - I don't really have a chance to "try before I buy" so I am looking for a single 12" which will fit the current amplification and option to add a mono class D amp (PPI or other)

- Any suggestions on model/brand?

Wirirg Q's:
- what are the current lengths for the RCA's from the dash to the very back wall of the vette?
- what are the basic lengths for component speaker wire from the doors to the very back of the trunk? (Crossovers will mount someware in the back).

- Suggestions type of power lead. power distribution block and remote leads (2 amps) ?

Any help would be greatly appreceated!

 

i'd go with a image dynamics id12v3 or idq12

my application is unique so I'm not sure about the rca thing. get a piece of string and route it where you want the wires to go and that'll get you in the ball park

i got my stuff from www.knukonceptz.com good prices and i'm impressed with thier product so far.

 

Thanks for the advice!
I'm glad that someone was able to point me in the right direction

 

no problem, some of these post just fall through the cracks.
