    I need help finding 2 Kicker 6.5" speakers that arent that expensive, 2 tweeters for up by my windshield and I already have 2 good 6 x9s in the back that are fine for now. But I need to find a new amp to run all 6 speakers, can you find all this for me?

    ok then a 4ch amp. i must have misread your post. i thought the amp was just for the front speakers.

    oh btw you can run all 6 off of just one 2 ch amp. if you know how to wire speakers then it can be done. just saying.

    Okay, how many watts a channel?

    Or do you think a 600 watt 4 channel amp will work?

    i still recommend 50 to 75 per, but if the price is right and the specs look good to you then sure. more headroom is good.

    now is that 600 watts max or the 2 ohm rms specs?

    some of you guys may see this and say "hey didnt you have upwards of 600 watts to your front stage? . thats way more than you say to use."

    well yes but i have 10 speakers up there and it breaks down to 60 per. :cool:

    just saying..in case you all were wondering.

    I'm not sure. I mean its not really a name brand, its the dual amp from walmart, and I think its 600 watts max

    Okay. But. Will that amp work? And to run 4 channels, will I have to use two audio cables from my stereo to my amp?
