ok guys this is my audio setup for my dodge dakota:
I have 4 door pioneer speakers 6 1/2 running at 50 rms 4 ohms each
I will soon have 2 tweeters that also will run at 50 rms 4 ohms each.
I have 2 10's in the back running on a 900w pioneer amp my deck is a kenwood kdc155u new with only one output for an amp which is being used for my 2 10's. so here is how i got it setup: the back two 6 1/2's are running through the infinity stock amp both push 4 ohms. the front two 6 1/2's are wired directly to my deck. the 2 10's are running through the pioneer. My passenger side speaker plays for awhile then cuts off, i am thinking there is not enough power to run all of them the way i have it setup. Any ideas on this would be great! I would like to put another amp, a small one, to run my front door speakers on so that there isnt so much power being used from my deck. Also i need the tweeters to be spliced into the front door speakers which will need power also. So how can i add another amp if my deck doesnt have any more outlets to use? thanks

 

Hey bud in my old 94 Dakota I ran similar system. Sony tweeters, sony 3 way door speakers and 2 10's as well as 6x9 speakers that sat on top of sub boxes.. When my passenger door speaker started doing same thing I just ran all new wires for it and no problem.. along the line the wire to it got burnt up a bit.. Later on amp did blow out so and after reading lots of blogs, the main thing is all the watts need to match up.. Example a 1000w max system needs a 1000w amp... I ended up adding a second amp for speakers... Hope that helps with starting point

 

Or try using electronic cross over to separate highs mids lows and subs

 

thanks guys for the info. but is there anyway to add an amp the way that i have everything connected? also, so i need to match up watts? what about ohms?

 

Sorry guys one more question. How would i put in a crossover for my setup? and will a crossover give me more power or allow me to use the power it has for all my speakers? thanks again!

 

A friend of mine hooked everything up I just ran all the wiring. The ohms is just the resistance so you can get slightly more bump depending on 2 or 4 don't quite remember which is which sorry.. But when my amp blew there was alot of smoke in my cab from it so I went to an audio store to ask what could cause that. My system totaled over 3000 watts the way we ran everything and I only had one 1000 watt amp.. So the analogy he gave me was take a car that's towing limit is 1000lbs and your towing 3000lbs eventually it's going to die... So what I did was just ran the speakers back to headunit and went with at 1200 watt amp for the subs that peaked at 600watts each which totals to 1200. System actually sounded better subs hit harder and nothing has blown and there has been no other issues for 7yrs with it.. So you could always a car audio place also.. If your lights and stuff dim/flicker then you'll eventually need a capacitor

 

Oh sorry also when you add an amp which is what I got in my ram I have two 1000 watts amps under driver and passenger seat I had an audio place instal them for me cause my buddy moved out of state, but one is just for the subs and the other all the other speakers so your not overloading the system.. been hooked up for that way for 4 yrs no problems

 

To install crossover youd run speaker input to unit then just hookup out put accordingly and you can adjust settinge like high output mids and lows as well as subquite easy actually and a cleaner set up

 

Thanks guys I will try them out.

 

Im pretty sure the speaker cutting out is not a lack of power, as that would just make them not sound as good, it shouldn't make them cut out. Lots of people have aftermarket speakers just wired to the deck. It wont play it to their full potential, but it works fine. you need to check al your wiring and connections to that speaker.

The 2ohm impedance will provide more output. Less resistance to current flowing=more power and less system stability.

And if you get a second small amp to run your door speakers, I would run all four off of it. It will simplify things. Im not sure why you are only running two from your infinity amp. When i did my system, I just wired all the door speakers into the original wiring, which all went through the infinity amp. Not ideal, but it was the simplest thing to do and it sounds decent.
