Reddit mentions of Skar Audio RP-350.1D Monoblock Class D MOSFET Amplifier with Remote Subwoofer Level Control, 350W

Thank you! So the wiring kit you posted is good to go if I switch to that? I'll look into the head unit. And, yea I think I really just need to power the subs. I plan to wire the other speakers just from the head unit.


So updated setup -

Headunit either Pioneer or Alpine

Same speakers and subs.


You think that's will provide a decent quality audio experience?

Whatever you do, spend the extra money on Oxygen Free Copper 4 guage for power. If you have any issues Copper Clad Aluminum will melt and catch fire, and is just all around terrible and incredibly unsafe. I would Recommend Dual for very cheap budget amps. Also might want to look at pioneer amps as well. Boss is just complete trash no matter how you look at it. Otherwise the speakers and head unit are very solid choices.

Actualy, now that I think of it, you can get an AMAZING head unit for not much more: https://www.amazon.com/Alpine-iLX-W650-Mech-Less-Receiver-Compatible/dp/B07NQ2BRFM

If your budget can afford it, you can get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Skar-Audio-RP-600-5-Full-Range-5-Channel/dp/B01LW7Z8NI/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=pioneer+5+channel+amp&qid=1571410867&s=electronics&sr=1-5 or if you just need power for the sub then https://www.amazon.com/Skar-Audio-RP-600-5-Full-Range-5-Channel/dp/B01LW8V8CD/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=pioneer%2B5%2Bchannel%2Bamp&qid=1571410867&s=electronics&sr=1-5&th=1

And with OFC, you can use one size smaller due to higher quality, so this wiring kit will be ideal for your uses: https://www.amazon.com/KnuKonceptz-Kolossus-Gauge-Amplifier-Installation/dp/B0058OENJ2/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=ofc+8+guage&qid=1571410941&s=electronics&sr=1-4

I am almost done redoing the stereo system in my '03 TJ. I'll go over it a bit for some reference. Just do some research and you'll find what suits your needs best. Affordability was definitely a concern of mine.


It had the stock headunit with the 7 speaker system which is 2 roll bar pods with coaxial 5.25" speakers, 2 knee panel speakers which are component 4" and tweeters, and a 6.5" subwoofer and 75w 1ohm amp in the center console.


I bought this JVC headunit in case I ever upgraded to a 5 channel amp, 22rms 50peak x 4channels. 6 channel, 4volt preamp output.


I replaced the knee panel and roll bar speakers with these Skar 5.25" speakers. 22w rms 75 peak each, 90db sensitivity. I had to use adapter brackets for the knee panel speakers. All speakers/brackets worked with stock hardware and covers. I tried to use baffles for the knee panel speakers but they would not fit behind the speaker. Perhaps I need to cut them down and glue them on, but I instead used polyfill behind like a blanket. I also stuffed the pods halfway or so along the edges. I used low volume door threshold foam along the edge of the pod speakers to seal it.

I added these Skar 1" tweeters to the dash corners. 20rms 80peak each, 88db sensitivity. They are at the bottom corners of my windshield screwed into the trim panel. I soldered them to the knee panel speakers in parallel. They were an afterthought, so I'm not sure if the wiring matches up but they play music.

I replaced the stock subwoofer with this Skar 6.5" DVC subwoofer. 200rms 400peak, 83.1db sensitivity. It's wired at 1 ohm to the stock amp and supposedly only getting 75w. The stock enclosure required heavy modification for the speaker to fit, lots of breaking, melting, and shaping of the plastic housing and center console. Used high volume foam to seal around the speaker. I get a bit of distortion at high volume, plan on getting a mono amp and tuning my sub individually. Also need to line the edges with a bit of polyfill. I've read the arguments, I'm going to test it.

I havent had the chance to take the doors or top off, its still winter in the Rockies, so idk how it'll sound. Probably pretty good. Feel free to ask any questions.

Edit: this is the mono amp I plan on purchasing
