October 13, 200915 yr I'm wondering, how would I wire my front door speakers to a 2-channel amp?Do I just run them like I'd run subs? It depends on how you want them ran, the impedence of the speakers and impedence of the amp. For example if your running a set of 4 ohm speakers to each channel for a 4 ohm load, then you would run the one speaker to terminal 1(channel 1, positive wire goes to positive terminal and negative wire goes to negative terminal) and so on for speaker #2.
October 13, 200915 yr Author Alright, thanks.Just wondering.Started working again and I plan on upgrading my system, but keeping my 2-channel amp to power my front door 6.5's.6.5" Pioneer, but they get the job done for me, just looking for clarity, not a concert.
October 13, 200915 yr Author 4-Ohm impedance for the Pioneers and Kenwoods.35w each speaker and my amp is 80w @ 4-ohm.little more than RMS - 70w.Should they be okay if I turn the gains all the way down?
October 13, 200915 yr Yeah they should be ok, just use your ears to notice when your pushing or stressing the drivers to much.

October 14, 200915 yr Author Alright cool, just getting more into the car audio culture and learning about this stuff.I've been to a few sound competitions in my area and have heard some CRAZY systems.4-12's, 4-15's, 2-18's, 12-18's. Next setup: Fi, Sundown, Audioque, or SSA.Not sure yet, but I'll figure it all out.

October 14, 200915 yr Author Next setup: Fi, Sundown, Audioque, or SSA.Not sure yet, but I'll figure it all out. all great brands, you cant go wrong with any of them I have a friend who's running 1-15" Fi BTL [Fully Loaded] with a 1500D Sundown and it's LOUD as for a single sub setup in a custom aero ported box.FlipSid stays in my area and he help build that Explorer with 12-18" Sundown Nightshades. Gave me a demo last week and HOLY never heard bass that loud/move that much pressure in my life.I entered that contest for that 12" Fi Q, hopefully I'll win it, but if not I'm still upgrading my whole system.
October 14, 200915 yr Author I hooked my Pioneer and Kenwood 6.5's to my amp.They were screaming, mids and highs were loud and clear.Couldn't turn it up because they don't hold a lot of power, but I could hear the difference between power from HU and Amp.Next setup I'm going all out.4 channel amps + mono amp.Thanks for the help.
October 14, 200915 yr Author I didn't take any pics/videeos.Been raining all day here.I only have a 2-channel amp and I have my subs running on it.Just wanted to test it out and see how it compares to running it off the HU.I'll take pics/videos when I upgrade my system.2-10" Fi SSD or 1-12" Fi Q +1200D Audioque + Mids/Highs [4-Channel]
