New Sound is on the Way...

2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD - Crew Cab

I ordered my stuff, this is the system:

Head unit: Pioneer DEH-960MP (Electronics City.com ($399.00)

Amp MTX Road Thunder RT404 (Car Domain.com $164.95)

Fr Speakers Polk MMC 6500 Componets (Car Domain $299.00)

Rr Speakers Polk db 675 (Car Domain $109.95)


Will this work??

I hope it all comes together as planned.

that will be great, as long as you bridge the amp to the fronts and run the rears off the HU (nice choice, btw). if you run each speaker off its own channel, it won't be loud enough. way better than stock, but it won't hit close to its full potential. the only problem i could see is the inevitable increase in distortion when bridging, this is a tradeoff you'll have to decide on when you do the install.

if you can manage it (by returning the amp or somesuch), a stronger amp would be helpful.

neo-

thanks for the input, however to me bridging means building a bridge across a river. That I can do.

Bridging an amp means what???

I can revise my order. Any suggestions.

Again thanks for the help.

Neo's right. You need a stronger amp.

Here are a few in that price range:

JBL
Pioneer
Phoenix Gold
Hifonics
Sony

Personally, I would take the Phoenix Gold out of all those

bridging is hooking a pair of channels together to make 1 channel. more power and vastly increased distortion result.

this amp is only a little more money (HUGE savings here!!!) and will serve up plenty of power to your front speakers. i'm partial to front speakers only, so i've left your rear speakers running off the HU here. they won't be very loud, but they will provide a bit of rear fill and will allow rear passengers to hear the music easier.

should you desire to amp the rears (and you'll find most people would argue against this), you'll be spending at least 2 times as much money, if not 3 or 4 or more.

Gentlemen, and I mean that sincerely,

Upgraded to the Pheonix Gold amp and the Polk MMC 650's for the rear doors.

The finished install will provide results.

I will update.

This audio stuff is insane - 1 heart beat = $1000.00 and thats on the low end.

God Bless You Guys - Thanks Again
