Audio advice for struggling member...
Well in an attempt to dig myself out of this hole I made for myself I have bought and sold components but now stuck wondering how to wire the inputs.
Here is what I have...
Rockford Fosgate PBR300X2 (300W 2 ohm) to power Infinity Kappa 6.211i Lower Fairings
Alpine KAC 3004 4 channel amp (600W 4 ohm) to power American Bass 6.5s Batwing
Well I was advised to wire the Alpine bridged to power the two American Bass 6.5s.
I decided to pick up the inifinity speakers for the lowers since I already had the RF amp.
So now I am struggling with the inputs from the HK head unit into each amp. Can anyone help me please?
Thank you
Bryan

Why would you want to run 2 amps?
That alpine amp only specs out at 50w rms at 4 ohms and 75w at 2 ohm.
I would suggest getting a different amp (4 channel ) that is 2 or 4 ohm compatible.and only use the one amp instead of running 2 different amps.
The Soundstream pn4-1000d would take care of that issue
This amp is 140w at 4 ohms and 250w at 2 ohm per channel and should be plenty of power for the speakers you have.
I know it pushes the KAPPAS real good at 2 ohm

As originally stated I believe I was told to BRIDGE the Kenwood amp to power the AB speakers to get the power I need.

You can run the 2 speaker outputs from the HU to line converter on 1 channel and use a "y" rca splitter to the 2 amps or tie the 2 left channels together and the same for the right on the input side of the line leveler and use all 4 rca output on line leveler to amp

and FNT LT + & - and wire them to the inputs of the line leveler but wire all 8 wires going into the leveler to the 4 coming from the fnt output of the HK? Then use all four RCA from the leveler to bridge the Kenwood amp?
Then take the HK Rear RT +&- and Rear LT +& - and wire them to the RF amp?
Thank you very much!

So you are saying you have front and rear channels on your HU?
IF that is the case are the rear channels active(working)? If they are active you can take each speakers output (4)and wire it to the LL. (One speaker to one input on LL)If the rears are not active then just use the front channel as discussed earlier

Either way I am still confused on the wiring to the line leveler/Kenwood amp and also the RF amp. Remember I want to bridge the kenwood amp to get the necessary power for the AB speakers. RF amp powers the Infinity speakers
Thank you
