ok iv got 2 amps that im trying to figure out what to do with one is a 200 watt 4channel rampage amp and the other is a 300 watt 1 channel vr3 amp. iv also got all the wires and cables needed to hook them up "its great having friends with garage shelves to store things to collect dust" "i got pretty much a complete system that way" hehe now if only i didnt drive over the speakrs ok so now back to my questions.

1. can i hook the 1channel 300 watt amp to my cd player? will it help my cd player out at all ?

2.the 4channel 200 watt amp i figure that will put about 50 watts per speaker how do you hook them up to the speakers? do you spice the wires and then run them into the amp then then back into the cd player?

3. where is the best place mount am amp that its out of the way ? under the seats ? behind the dash ?

4. i really dont wanna screw any holes into my car so can i use velcrow or somthing for the amps or will they detach from that to ez on bumpy roads? no rear shocks so just about every road is a bumpy road lol

What cd-player do you have?? If you have a aftermarket, then get a subwoofer and hook it to the subwoofer line out of your aftermarket. Whay year and car do you have.


2.the 4channel 200 watt amp i figure that will put about 50 watts per speaker how do you hook them up to the speakers? do you spice the wires and then run them into the amp then then back into the cd player?

Rampage amps arent number one on consumer reports though. 50 watts MAX a channel is what youll get, but in actuality your going to be around 20-22 watts constantly, maybe less with that amp. Depending on what your setup is going to be, weather your going to use line level inputs or RCA inputs, you splice into the speakers.


3. where is the best place mount am amp that its out of the way ? under the seats ? behind the dash ?

I built a rack in my backseat of my old bird, similar to prevost's design. At one point I had both my amps under my seats, its a bitch cause there isnt much room.


4. i really dont wanna screw any holes into my car so can i use velcrow or somthing for the amps or will they detach from that to ez on bumpy roads? no rear shocks so just about every road is a bumpy road lol

Depending on where you mount it, I would use screws. But you have to figure out question 3 first. And get shocks.... :)
