quote: yep, but make sure you get speakers that are capable of taking what the amp is giving them. basically if an amp is throwing out 100rms per channel you dont want a speaker that can only take 50rms (it'll just ruin the speaker and noting good comes from that haha) :thumbs: | |

im not sure about the RMS or ohms lol. but im guessing that you mean when i look for 6x9s and subs i should be looking for higher RMS rather then watts? | |

Stop saying 1000watts. That is a peak figure! | |

1000w is more than enough | |

quote: In my opinion if your going to wire up a sub, you should amp up the speakers as well (eg rear 6x9s or uprated rears) been in afew cars where theres been a big sub but no amped speakers and all you can hear is bass lol (but if thats what you want then i guess thats good) also buy using an aftermarket stereo most have amplifiers built in which will already amp your speakers (but depending on how powerfull your sub is, it may not be enough) eg. aftermarket stereo usually amps 50w per speaker what i have done which suits me fine is amp the rear 6x9s with the sub on a 4channel amp and left the front coaxial (uprated) door speakers to be amped by the aftermarket stereo :) | |

Depends if your amps a 2 or 4 channel, if it's 2 you can only run your sub or 6*9's of it (i'de run the sub off it then wire the 6*9's up onto the standard wires), and if it's a 4 channel you can run both your sub and 6*9's off it. | |

its all very well quoting power figures, but are these watts you talk of peak power or rms? | |

you dont need 6x9's with a sub | |

if you want to use one amp for both the sub and the 6x9s you will need a 4 chanel amp | |

After googleing its only 1x120w amp, very old, very underpowered, most headunits built in amp are more powerful. | |
