The Most Confusing Sound Questions

[MikeyClutch]

Ok guys i have a 00' protege. now in my model i have 4 speakers (front door 6x8, rear deck 6x9) but in my rear doors i have the speaker grate and behind that the mounting capabilites for a 5 1/4 - 6 1/2 round.

So now, my car has the Alpine CDA-9851 head unit, pioneer 2-way 6x8 in front door and Alpine Type-S 6x9 in rear deck.

My plan is to put Alpine Type-S 5 1/4 in the Front doors, and Alpine 6 1/2 in the rear doors and keep my 6x9's. I also plan to add subs

My radio has 3 preouts

I cant seem to figure out howto wire this or make this happen.

Ok so from what i gather, 1 preout is for my front doors, the second preout if for my rear deck, and the 3rd preout is an extra. Which makes perfect sense.

How do i wire 6-speakers and 2 subs with 3 preouts? is it possible?

Ok letme tell you how i would do it.
1. Wire 1 preout to my 4-channel amp, and wire my front door speakers and rear deck speakers to the amp
2. Wire 1 preout to my rear door speakers
3. Wire 1 preout to my subwoofer amplifier

Does that work? or am i totally so far off key that i should be smacked with a dead salmon?

now here is more questions....

How do i wire the rear door speakers to the 1 preout? Splice? EXPLAIN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH THIS CAUSE IM CLUELESS

Has anyone else installed Alpine type-s 6x9's in a protege? If so any problems, cause installation was easy enough with SIBALLA's help, but the tweeters hit the speaker grate on top, wonderin if anyone had solutions.

Also is there any problems mounting other alpine type-s in the doors?

ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated by me and SIBalla, its just confusing to guys who never really dealt with audio issues.

1 last question - im in the market for subs, what do you guys like and what amps do you guys like? Im lookin at (2)Sony xplod 1300w 12'' or Alpine type-r, no idea. Hit that up to if you can! THANKS

3 preouts or 3 preout sets? Its one for the sub should be labled sub the other two for the front and rear (left and right) y split to also go to the back doors. Dont put speakers in the rear doors its really tough to run the wires.

I dont run rear speakers at all but have the fronts amped up nicely. Im working on someway to round out the midbass I think I can just dynamat the doors to be fine. I have the alpine type s in the front doors no problems with the fit but they seem to rattle alot so Im gonna first try dynamatting just around the speaker first see how that goes.

NO matter what dont get the sony. you dont need more then 400 watts to really pound, anything more and it gets anoying, it might be nice to show off but I have the amp turned down for normal use.

Look into the JL Audio W1V2 series....very good price points 10" $109 MSRP 12" $129 They are clean, responsive and 200 rms power handling. I sold 2 12's in a 6 with a pretty small amp and it sounded really nice.
