I am so sorry, i am new to car audio i really need help.
I just purchased:
JVC KD-AVX77 head unit
wired to that are:
4 JBL P8662
they sound bad after vol above 20-25
i was told to buy an amp
i just order
Kicker DX600.5 amp
i am hoping to power all four speakers with it, maybe a single sub one day
First question is will that be enough of an amp to power the 4 speakers and a sub if i ever buy one?
Next, i am a huge fan of Monster Cables, it's the only brand that i wire my home stuff with. Are they as good for car audio as they are for home? i see that they sell Amp wiring Kits, which one do i buy?
from what i have learned is that the amp i bought needs a 4 gauge power/ground cable the kit says it's only for up to 500w amps.
I know it would be more money to buy the cables separably but would that be better?
Will the JVC head unit be powered by the amp too or just get power from the car as it is now?
I drive a 2000 Mercury Sable sedan btw
other than the cables from the kit, what other cables will i need? I would like to also like to get the cables that i would need to connect the sub if i buy one. What kind of kicker sub can i get without it been too much on the amp?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post and the help!
