Kenwood amps are ok, I have a buddy that uses them in his Explorer. I'm rather a Rockford Fosgate fan. You can't go wrong with the Kappas.

Will you be using two different amps to run your component speakers and subwoofers?

If you need some ideas on how to run the wires on the Fiesta, that a look at my thread.

I was thinking about a JBL GT BASSPRO 12 powered sub
But then I want to eventually get some punch or power Rockford's and run them on an amp so I'll just get the p1 2x12 andkac7005ps


Will these be a big upgrade from stock?
Rockford Fosgate P165-S 6.5" Punch Series Car Audio Component System

And if those are a big upgrade are these worth the extra$$$?

Are you getting the Sony sound system with the vehicle? I wouldn't recommend getting a single amp for the door speakers and subwoofers. You're better off getting a small amp for the small speakers and a larger more powerful amp for the subwoofers.

To run the smaller speakers you'll probably need something around 200 watts

If you plan on running two 10" subwoofers I would recommend getting something like this.

So just get the p1 2x12 with the 500 Watt amp?
Then later on which components would you recommend punch or power series?
And then just that 200 watt amp for them?

If you get the P1 two 12" you can go with the a 600 watt amp, this way you won't over work the 500 watt amp. I thought you were going with the 10" lol.

Get the Punch P1 12" 4-ohm, which will then sound great if you do a series wiring on a bridged amp.


To Recap, here's the recommendation. Make sure the 12" box fits the sedan, if not go with a 10" box and subwoofers.

Okay I think I'll go with the p1 2x10s and the 500 watt amp the box should already be wired that way right?
Then I'll go with either
*Rockford Fosgate P165-S 6.5" Punch Series Car Audio Component System
* Rockford Fosgate T165-S 6.5-Inch Power Series Car Audio Component Speakers
And that 200 watt amp
will that be enough power for the components
Sorry about all the questions never installed an audio system in my own car I've helped others just never done it myself

No problem glad to help. Yes the 500 watt amp with two 10" subwoofers is plenty.

Most boxes wont be wired for series wiring, but parallel.

Here's the difference.

Parallel Wiring


Series Wiring

That's what I have in my cart lol but doesn't the sub only have one red and one black input?
At the rear of the box you should have two sets of terminals, (+ red, - black) for the right sub and (+ red, - black) for the left sub.

Alright now what amp should I get with t265 at 100rms 200max
And do I need to get coax for the back or will these be enough?
If I need coax is the 4 channel 500 watt amp good for that?
