I got 6x9 in my car which are 300w each like anyways i had a Pioneer amp, 2 x 50w RMS or 1 x 200 max amp fitted and a 12'' sub pioneer 600w this connected too a kenwood z838w

anyways guys most of the sound is going through to the 6x9s and want to transfer most of the sound to the sub how do i do this by turning the amp up more so more sound goes into the sub or shall i do any adjusting on my headunit!!!


help appreciated

wat do u mean most of the sound???

really u want the amp powering the front speakers not the 6x9's and just set the amp gains correctly for the input voltage supplied by your hu.
If anything id have rid of the 6x9 in favor of a good set of front speakers.

Your Pioneer amp ain't nowhere near powerful enough to run that sub.

That sub is 300w RMS and you'll be lucky to get 120w RMS from that amp in bridged mode.

You need ro put a least 350w RMS through that sub to run it comfortably.

BTW MAX power figures mean nothing.

Your 6x9s will be around 80-100w RMS.

sell the 6x9s and amp to your local pikey, get a better mono-block amp like corSRI said (pushing out 350wRMS). Then buy some decent front comps and amp and voila you have the starts of a decent system Then tweak it all to your liking
