help with monsoon system

[chrisp847]

hi. i'm new here and i need help. I have a 2006 GP i installed a kenwood dnx 5120 navigation dvd radio and i want to hook up some subs and amp. i have a monsoon system and i would like to keep it( for the 6x9's and door,center speakers ). I'm going to install a pair of rockford fosgate 6x9's and a new set of door speakers i want the monsoon amp to run them. so how would i hook up the amp and subs(would i just run the power and the remote from the radio and ground it off). thanks for the help.:th_scratchhead:

The speakers you can just drop in and replace.

As for the sub you'll have to run rca's and a remote off the deck. You'll prolly have 4 blue wires you can do 2 and 2 or wire them all together
1.remote input for monsoon amp
2. power antenna input
3. Remote output of the the deck
4 power antenna output

Does it have a sub output?
What amp do you have?
what subs do you have?

I can prolly walk you thorugh how to wire it if you want, lmk
thanks

So you understand how to do the fronts and rears correct?

As for the subs, the subs match the amp nicely. The subs should be single 4 ohm. If you wire them in parallel, which means combine both + and - of the subs and input that into one + and - on the amp, sshould result in a 2 ohm load. Also ways verify with a multimeter!!! The amps pretty big for those subs if i am thinking correct. I think thier only 150 watts rms a piece so keep your gain fairly low. For power there are boots on both the driver and pass side so take your pic. For ground you can go to a strut tower bolt or a self-tapper and a star washer. Make sure you scrape the paint away to get a good ground


Lmk if you have any more question, thanks
