Need input for wiring and feeds , I am confused as to how to run the RCA’s properly to the two amps

So Amp Pro has RCA for front, rear , center and sub

But here is my confusion
  • How do I run the RCA’s for two amps to get the desired channels
    • XD700 - will power the following
      • Front = dash and door mids
      • Rear = rear speakers
      • sub - rear sub
    • XD200 - will power
      • door subs ……. WHAT CHANNEL IS THIS AND WHERE WILL THE RCA’S COME FROM THAT FEED THIS AMP
  • I have to run new wire for front tweets since they will run THRU CROSSOVERS - Where will the wires feed from for this ( front directly from XD700?
Can someone give me a rudimentary diagram for my specific situation using the AmpPro AP4-GM61 and APH-GM02

From the PAC front outputs, you will need to run that to your xd200/2. From xd200 pre out, you will run another set of rca to the xd700 ch 1 and 2 for your mids/tweets.
From ch 1/2 oitput on the xd700, you will connect the mid and the tweeter crossover in parallel. The tweeter will connect to the crossover. I'm not in a once to draw a diagram, but you should be able to picture this. I can draw one up later if needed.

I need to lay the units out to see if I can get it figured out.I have chicken scratch on paper that I am embarrassed to show.

I will say one thing the PAC unit is the size of my radar detector ( 3oz plastic unit) with some wires for $350. I bet this thing didn’t cost $10 to make.

I was going thru my old car audio stuff and found Focal PS-130 tweeters and crossovers.

I dont have the computer program to create a wiring diagram so I drew on my table how I think it should be wired. Don’t Laugh, LOL

So how would the Focal tweeters (from the PS-130) stack up against the Hertz 26?

The focal tweeters and crossovers should work. Did you like them in your previous setup? The diagram you have looks right. Don't forget to fuse the amps and set the onboard crossovers appropriately. Also when you install the pac interface, make sure to connect the USB cable and **** for future adjustments.

Waiting for a front end refresh

Pulled all items out of rear tub to get insulation everywhere

You don't waste any time!!! Looking good. You should go ahead and get a z06 style grille while you have everything apart.

return the tweeters and you'll have money for the grille. They are only $125 @ EOS.

Hey Vince, 2 questions
  1. Do I use the crossovers we choose up above in the post or the ones from the Focal PS 130’s?
  2. When wiring the crossovers you said to
    • run new wires from tweeters to crossovers
    • since the mids will also be on the crossovers do I just pull wires from the PAC unit for the tweeters and combine them with the mid wires and then feed those into the crossovers and then out to speakers?

1. Use the Focal crossover
2. From ch 1/2 output of xd700/5, run that to crossover. From crossover woofer output, connect to midrange. From crossover tweeter output, run that to tweeter. The crossover will send 3K htz and down to the mid and everything above 3K to the tweeter. On the Amp crossover, set that to high pass at around 180 htz.
