some amplifier advice

[navmk4gti]

Im looking at connecting my 6x9's and front and rear door speakers to an amp. Do i need a 6 channel amp so each speaker has its own channel to get the best out of them or would a 4 channel amp with 6x9 on its own channel and the speakers bridged do the job.

4 speakers - 4 channels. Unless at some stage you want to run a sub.

There is 6 speakers tho mate inc the 6x9s

[dragonfly]

Are you including tweeters?

[navmk4gti]

Nope. Iv already changed the speakers in the front doors and rear quarter and have 6x9 in the shelf.so 6 speakers in total that i want running of an amp

What 6x9's you got bro? Also what are the door speakers? You want 6 channel amp for best sound.

Got vibe slick 6x9'S and alpine door speakers. I thought so would need 6 channel ..der a b1tch to find a decent 6 channel one. I have a 4 channel v12 alpine amp was thinking do some bridgeing but the speakers may sound crap then

You have 4 outputs on the headunit so how have you connected 6 speakers to it? The sound will be very rear heavy. Either run the fronts and 6x9s, fronts and rears or fronts and a sub.

6x9 are currently bridged to the rear speakers. Im.not going to have a sub.

So if i run the 6x9 and front speakers to the amp
 And leave the rear door speakers to the headunit it should run good?

Yep at the mo the sound is very heavy

You can't simply 'bridge' speaker wire to run another set of speakers. When you go to a concert do you have your back to the stage?  This is why it is better to invest in a decent component set-up at the from and a sub in the boot.  You then cover the frequency range (tops, mids and lows).
Connect the fronts and the 6x9s, leave the rears. Daisy chaining the speakers will sound rubbish.
