Current setup is a Pioneer GM-D8604 4 Ch amp (4x150), this amp powers a 10" Infinity Kappa 100.9W (bridged) and JBL P660c components. I also have a pair of JBL GTO938 6x9's (un-amped) in the rear deck. This is running of the OEM head unit. I blew the coil of the Kappa sub a while back so I'm looking to upgrade. What I'm wanting to do is install an Alpine Type-R 2 ohm in it's place and run it off of a dedicated mono amp. I've already purchased the Pioneer GM-D9601 amp. This pushes 1200 watts RMS at 1-ohm. And add the rear 6x9's to the Pioneer GM-8604. This amp is installed under the driver seat, so I want the second amp under the passenger seat (it fits, without the wires at least). When I went to the shop and told them I wanted to do this, the guy started telling me I need a capacitor, my amps needed to be moved to the trunk and be installed in a board/rack. Well, I need them under the seat because I can't afford to lose the ability to fold down my seats. I already had them build a custom corner sealed enclosure for the first build. They will do it how I want, but said they won't warranty it unless its done "their" way. I'm really not concerned about the warranty, I just don't want to do something I shouldn't. Anyways, my buddy who's a car audio guy said it's all BS and that I can just install a larger gauge wire (1 gauge?) and be fine with what I want to do, so I just wanted to get a second opinion before going ahead this way. I have a 2012 Toyota Camry SE V6 by the way. Also, would running the mono amp at 2 ohm and 800 watts help my case?
