[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8548035, member: 628688"] Why have you bought and still plan to buy more 5-1/4" speakers? Keep 6x9s as the bass response can be far greater than most 5-1/4" speakers. I recommend this even if you will add a subwoofer. Without the Alpine system and a separate factory amplifier the LC7i is not needed. Use the high level inputs on the JX400 amplifiers. A better way to handle this upgrade would be to run the speakers active. That means you will not use the BB14 bass blockers, but instead you will set electronic crossover filters. Each speaker gets its own amplifier channel. In the front of the truck you will use one JX400/4D amplifier. Set the Input Mode switch to 2 Ch. Get your signal from the front Left and Right speaker outputs of the radio. You may need to install resistors to get the radio to operate correctly without the stock speakers connected. See this article for an explanation: [URL="http://www.audiocontrol.com/knowledge-base/everything-hooked-powered-music-playing-no-audio/"]Everything is hooked up, powered on and music is playing, but I have no audio from my Line Converter - AudioControl[/URL] Put the 6x9s in the front doors on channels 3&4, set the amplifier to LPF and 200 Hz. Wire channels 1&2 to C2-350x and switch it to HPF at 200 Hz. [/QUOTE]
