    WARNING!! There is a bribe of free “Death by Chocolate Cake” to the most helpful person. I am a Chef by trade and Love… I own a Restaurant in Chicago. When I am not cooking, I am turning wrenches.
    Big Bass is not what I am after here. What I want is just to turn up the volume a little more. At #30 on the dial its okay, I just want to hear it clearly at #40.

    I have a 1963 Ford Fairlane that I want to install a sound system in.
    Here is what I want to do…. Install FOUR (4) -6”x9” speaker in the back package shelf. There is plenty of room there. Then cover it with stock cloth material. I do not want to cut into the doors or kick panels.
    What I need to know is this…..
    1. What is the best way to wire these 4 speakers from the AMP? Straight up? Crossed? Series?
    2. Recommendation for the SECOND set of 6”x9”s. The Kickers are Okay on mid & high. I just need a LITTLE more low. I need to buy 2 more
