I’m looking at installing a sub box, amp, and LOC. it’s going in a ‘15 VW Passat. I’m keeping the factory head unit and door speakers.
I’m thinking of using this sub box
And this LOC
As for amp. I’m not sure. I think the subs are wired to 1 ohm. Will a mono channel amp work? Run a 800 w rms? What amp would be good to use with this setup?
As for the LOC. I’m thinking of tapping into the rear speakers for the signal to go to LOC.
Wiring questions
I’m thinking of a distribution block mounted on the battery terminal. Run the wire to the trunk. Where another distribution block can take the larger wire and then connect 2 smaller wires to go to the amp and LOC.
my questions are. What size wire from battery to trunk block? What size wire from block to amp? What size wire from block to LOC? What size “ for lack of better term “ fuse for the battery block, trunk block, amp, LOC? Do I need 4 fuses? I get the fuses protect the equipment and wires. Depending on how it’s wired and fused.
I’m thinking of getting all the blocks, wires from one supplier. Ease of ordering. Less chance of messing up and missing something that I need.
Thanks in advance for any/ all the help.
