Speaker wiring

[Jackrabbit41]

So tomorrow once I get paid for this firewood rack I built, I'm going to get 4 new speakers and a sub. I totally forgot the brand names, but I'm getting 4 high quality speakers and then a 8 inch under seat sub. I would get an amp, but that'll come later. I don't have enough for the one I want. The sub is $360 but it's on sale for $280. I know thats expensive, but this thing is really small and high quality. I rather spend the money for something nice. I also already have a kenwood deck that's capable handling anything I could dream of. I'm not wanting to just pump up the bass all the time, but my speakers right now are terrible, and I have no bass what so ever. Just wondering what's involved in installing this. I've never done any audio work before, but I've done lots of wiring and have done pretty much all the work to my jeep.

It's been a long time me since I did any sound system work, but I'd spend the money on an amp and component speakers first. Without an amp, your sub won't get enough power to operate at its full potential. Your components will sound a lot better with a properly wired amp as well. Probably not a bad idea to run new speaker wire from the head unit to the speakers, depending on how rough your current wiring is.

Thanks! I've been talking to some people and they've been saying the same thing
