I put in (2) front 4X6's, (2) rear seat 6X9's, and (2) 12' subs. I have an amp that has the connections for (2) front and (2) subs, where do I connect either the front or rear seat speakers? Do I connect all (4) to the front terminals?...Denny

What I would do is hook up the 4x6's and the 6x9's to the amp, and they go out and buy your self a 2 channel amp and power the subs off that.

So what I need is (6) channels? I have a 1600 Watt (4) channel amp...Denny

Well if you picked up a passive crossover for the subs and ran the subs & the 6x9's on the rear.. and the front's on the front.. it might work.. as long as the amp is 2 ohm stable.. and will allow you to run 4 ohms to the front and 2 ohms to the back.. and wire one sub and one 6x9 in parallel for the left and the right side..

Try running your 4x6s off front channel off radio,since they r right in front of you, youll still be able to have front image.Run 6x9s off 2 channels and your subs off the other 2 channels that way you dont have to buy another amp.If you dont like it then you could buy a seperate amp for your subs.

FastElectrics

forgot about that idea.. running the 4x6's off the head unit.. But if you can't do that.. here is the passive crossover I would probably use.. Number: 266-100 (100 Hz LOW PASS 4 OHM CROSSOVER ). from the first link you posted

You can do it either way but if you run 4x6s off radio youll still be able to have front to rear fading, just depends what you r trying to do.Try it both ways and see what you like better. Just remember its what you like.

Ok' I hooked the front and rear speakers to the radio and the subs to the amp. The radio only has 2 channel, where the amp has 4 so I was limited. At this moment the subs are open-air (ok you can laugh), but they sound GREAT! I will be closing them in but I just want to start driving so I will do that later...Denny

I'd run the 4x6s and the subs off the amp, and run the 6x9s off the head unit. The 4x6s in front of you are going to be playing most of the music, so it makes sense to put them on the amp. The 6x9s are just for fill.

Well I got her done, BUT I trashed the stock radio and put in a new one. It sounds great now but it took some tweaking...

I KNOW they are not boxed but it works great!

Before:


The stero is 300W so I put the front and rear seat speakers on the radio and the subs on the amp. I'm afraid I am going to blow the rear window with the Baha Men!

looks good.. Great lookin interior man.. nice and clean.. :hail:

84Berlinetta3rd

Thanks! The car has only 24,000 miles on it. That is why I was so tossed about changing the interior so much, BUT it will never be a collectors item so now it sounds good too...Denny

i hope you didnt throw out that radio! that shyt is rare man!

I kept ALL the org parts and packed them up so if/when I need them I can just put them back in. The way it sounds now I'm pretty sure putting them back in will not happen with me...Denny
