I tried to focus on decent efficiency ratings (S/N) for my speakers and subs to make best use out of what little power i would have (@500watts).
I ran across the DX/DS series from Kicker. Stillwater Designs was a popular choice when i was into audio as a teen, so i decided i would give both their amps and speakers a try. For subs i have two Infinity Kappa Perfect 12's but will only use one... since the DX 125.2 amp bridged is only stable to 4 ohm.
The amps are small/light, and will be easy to conceal. One will push four 6.5's (one in each door, two on the rear deck), and the other will push the sub. Im custom wiring the Y input harness, and it will be concealed in a 4 door chassis armrest when it isnt used. I scooped up Streetwires for power and speaker connections.
I also picked up an alarm (CodeAlarm), primarily for keyless entry since the EJ1 spends 95% of its alone time in a garage... but i did scoop up a glass breakage sensor and a microwave sensor for additional protection. Since it is a security addition... details and install info will be limited. lol But i am looking forward to getting wrapped up in the wiring harness again... NOT. :mrolleyes:
