Amp install help PlEaSe.
I'm getting ready to install whole new system in my truck (02 F150 Screw). But I've got some questions about the amp in particular. Parts:
Kenwood DDX7015
Audiobahn AS68Q components (all 4 doors)
RF 501x
KnuKonceptz 4gauge 4channel amp kit/batt terminal.
I'm attaching a .bmp of what I picture the install to look like. Questions:
Does it look right, or am I smoking the good stuff.
How close can I run the power to the speaker wire that will also be on the passenger side.
Lastly, I'll be stuck with the factory HU for about two weeks and will be using a line out converter. Any help on setting the gain input/output so I dont have to keep guessing. Thanks. Better diagram in my gallery.

Is this one amp or two? The picture shows one amp running 4 tweets and 4 component's, using both HI-input and LO-input's , if that's what you're planning, don't. You aren't supposed to run Hi and Low's off the same amp. Idk what will happen if you do this, because I havent wanted my truck to be the guinea-pig lol. Other than that, it sounds like a good plan, I'm not liking the stock HU but at least you're changing it =)

Isn't the amp gonna fry? Isnt the RF 501x 4ohm stable in bridge...Anyways, good idea, but if you want to be LOUD, looks like it with 4 subs, i'd recommend getting an additional amp for the subs. I would leave the tweets with the 501x. Just my opinion tho. Oh one more thing, whered you get a 2006 F-150 :? lol

93green. Good lookin out. 2002 not 2006. The AS68Q's are component. I used the wrong term, 4 tweet and 4 mids on the 501x. Not bridged, just run in parallel. Tweets on the front channels and mids on the rear. Since the HU took up most of my budget I have to wait until next month to get the sub (one 10"). I only have enough room behind my rear seats for 0.75 cubic ft sealed box with the two amps (I'll get the 501s for the sub).

i think i've got it.. so you're gonna run front channel left and rights on the tweets, by wiring in two tweets per channel? and then on ure component's you're gonna put in 2 speakers per output right? otherwise your amp is gonna fry, and you'll be out quite a bit of money
