Yes i know hence why im going to amp them all up. Im not getting a sub as dont want that much crazy bass.

Ill wire the 6x9 and front speakers to a 4 channel amp and leave the rear speakers as they are.

It's a good start and will sound better than what you have.  Take your time wiring it up and don't botch anything otherwise you can cause shorts and further damage.

6x9's in rear shelf are rubbish mate! Ditch em and just amp the door speakers.

Yup i am now going do ditch the 6x9s now after little research :grin:

I av got small 8" subwoofer sony xplod 200w which i will be making a stealth box for.

I have a 4 channel amplifier and just had a quick question. Should the wiring be a set of speakers on chanel 1 and 2. And the subwoofer bridged on 3 and 4?? :undecided:

Also which channel have the hpf lpf stuff switched on for?

Assuming the amp is bridgeable then yes use channels 1 and 2 for the front speakers and bridge 3 and 4 for the sub.  Put the HPF/LPF to LPF or off.

Yes as above set your HPF/LPF to 'LFP'. Don't forget to set your crossovers.

LPF stands for low pass filter, which i think is treble cut filter. HPF stands for high pass filter which is a bass cut filter.

So ill set the sub channels to lpf to cut out the treble to it. :smiley:
