Advice on a sub and amp.
I'm getting my taxes back so i finely have some money to play with! I want to add a ten inch sub under the back seat of my '89 K1500 Ext. cab, and an amp that till power 4 speakers and the sub. (5 Chanel).
Right now I have:
Kenwood KDC-X791 Head Unit
Eclipse SE 4600 4x6 2-way in the Dash
Eclipse SE 6500 6 1/2 3-way in the kick panel
I was thinking a JL Audio 10W1v2-4 in a sealed box For the sub
And for the amp I'm not sure, I have only had one other Audio setup and it was in a Subaru and it was a really Inexpensive set up from Best buy...
BUT, i was thinking maybe:
Infinity Kappa Five

Or
Alpine PDX-5
http://signature.crutchfield.com/s_5...ssi=0&tp=27743
Or
Kicker 08ZX700.5
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...08ZX700.5.html
Tell me what you think for the Sub and amps, Price isn't TOO much of a big deal but definitely should be considered. And with a 5 ch. amp Will i need 3 sets of RCA cables?
Thank you!

oh and im not too sure about running the speakers and sub on the same amp because you'll be putting out power to make the sub hit and turn around pop there goes your speakers because they were getting too much power. i'd either get an amp for speakers and an amp for the sub or just wire the speakers to the dash and just get an amp for the sub?

don't go with a sealed box... there is no tuning with a sealed box.... its hard to get the proper air space need when u r trying to put a sub under the seat...I had 2 10's in a sealed box under my seat in a 91 ext cab silverado... now I have taken the back seat out and got a 2.5cu foot box in it place... I am way happier with that...
if u r wanting to amplify all the speakers u will need 3 runs of rca's and I would do 1 run of 0/1 awg power wire and 1 run 0/1 awg of ground from the battery. and i would beef up the charging system as well. its not hard to get 14.5v from a stock alt.
I am a bit of a car audio nut if there is anything that you would like to know plz PM me
