u do not need a loc on jl / series amps. they have a balanced line in and a high/low input switch. all you will need is rca cables. run a front set and a rear set. at the back of the deck cut off the rca ends. wire the center conductor of each rca to the + speaker wire and wire the rca shield to the speaker -. then set the input switches to high. you can also set up the amp to take signal for the sub channel from the front and rear ins so will not need a signal cable for the sub.

if i do that with the RCAs i will get no mids right from the door speakers right?

i guess i will see on the amp to get the signal front the front 2 to get the sub signal?

if i leave the wires for the rear tweeters at the hatch they will still function?

robert, are you doing the C2 components or coaxials? i see both.

It means voltage..(on the input side) meaning its a pre amped signal.. as opposed to the un amped signal coming from the rear rca outputs on an aftermarket

So it wont affect the ability to produce highs and mids.


(or am i wrong)

you are right. the amp will take signal from the pre amp in and use it to provide signal to the sub channel. the crossovers on the amp are further down the signal chain. you will want to set channels 1 2 3 4 for high pass for your front and rear speakers. then set your sub channel for low pass. if you go to jls site and check the tutorials section there is some really good info on setup and tuning.
