Post Putting new system together for truck

New to aftermarket sound systems, it was nothing to buy a couple of crap 12's and an amp from a flea market but I am taking my truck very seriously so I am trying to revamp the sound system to give quality hi's, mid's and lows and was wondering if the parts to this system sound compatible and would make a good clear sound. Welcome all suggestions with open hands and much gratitude. Thanks in advance.

thank you question though, with two amps how do I go about setting them up? Is there a common how to link for installation that even an amateur can understand?

Default Nice start

I didn't see where you said you had a cap, that would help with power consumption but the question you were asking is related to that, I have a 40 farad cap & it splits, so hooking up more than 1 amp would be no problem or if you don't want that added expense, a fuse block will split for you & keep you safe. Just my 2 cents, good luck.

A cap is not needed.

Shallow sub meant for small spaces but if you want deep bass, probably want a different idea. Hope that helps.

Just an excuse for lazy ignorant smokers. Just go to the dealer and request the smoking package. For my wife's Focus it was less than 20 bucks. Or use a soda can in the cup holder.
