does this set up work?

I've read for about 5 hrs now and don't really understand this whole ohms, bridging, and channels deal. I have a 93 Z with the Bose 3 speaker set up. The left factory amp went bad so I was thinking about this set up. Tell me if it works and if it'll work well.

I have a Sony CDXGT360MP head unit
-Maximum Watts per Channel 52W x 4
-RMS Wattage 17W x 4
-Number of Pre-Outs 1 rear, 1 sub out


(2) Alpine SPR-60 coaxial speakers
-100 Watts RMS
-300 Watts Peak

powered by

(1) Alpine MRP-F300
- 4-channel car amplifier
- 50 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (75 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms)
- 150 watts RMS x 2 bridged output at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)
- 2, 3, or 4 channel output

I was thinking i could just bridge the amp into the speakers.

Any help would be great! thanks

Re: does this set up work?

It should but be warned that you will have to rewire the entire system front to back.

I had the Bose 5 speaker setup in my Z28.

The driver's door speaker kept going out. I'd pull the Bose Speaker/Amp combo and resolder a component that would get somehow get a crack in the solder. Anyway after 3 or 4 times over 8 months I just bought a new set of speakers. Ended up having to rewire from front to back. The only factory wires I'm using are the Constant, switched power, & ground to the headunit anything else has been replaced.

why does the how system need to be rewired? can't the amp just be plugged into the pre outs on the head unit?

No the stock speakers run off different ohms. I think its a 4 ohm system and most after market speakers are 2 ohm. It may be vise versa but I had to rewire my entire radio system when I replace the.stock speakers as well
