 Posted: Jun 14, 2004 9:51 am Post subject: Tower Speaker System Questions |
 |
|
| I'm getting 4 Kicker KB600 tower speakers for my 92' Supra sunsport with a Monster Tower. I have no idea how to hook these up or anything, so i have a few questions. 1) What size amp do i need? 2) Do i need to get another battery? Basically i just need to know what all ill need and how to hook it up.

| A Kicker KX600.4 amp would do nicely with those speakers. Connect it via the preamp outs of your current headunit (assuming your headunit has preamp outs) and you should be in business. I run one of these amps in my boat and it has served me well. Second, I'd always recommend a second battery in a boat regardless of sound system upgrades. Add another battery and wire it via a battery isolator to your starting battery, so both batteries will charge when you're engine is running. Good luck.

I run the KX800.4 to the same setup and think the KX600.4 would be a great choice as well. BigDeal covered the wiring above. I brough all four wires up one side of the tower since the amp is on the passengers side. I also ran them through the top section and dropped them out in two locations.

| From what I've read, it is best to make sure both batteries are at least very similar. I have two Optima Blue tops (1 starting, 1 deep cycle) in my boat for that very reason.
