it would be a little better getting an actual speaker selector that selects both the + and - of one set of speakers at the same time, whereas a 3 position toggle will only toggle the + OR - line at any time. just a thought.

ya, good thought. i still might scrap the 15" though. i've had some good times with that sucker, but that was when i had t-tops. with a regular 4-door with windows rolled up you dont need that much sound.

little outta budget bin a, little outta b.

here's what i'd do. run sub 1 off of channel 1. sub 2 on chan 2. scrap the home stereo sub. run those 6x9's off your h/u. is it a problem if they play at all times? your amp prolly can't run 2ohms stably, which is what i'm guessing your setup has them at. that'll fry an amp damn quick.
or do it all right, get a monoblock amp for your subs, and use that amp for either the 6/9's or some nice components.
find out your system's specs tho for sure. amp and subs, and at what resistance.

i went back and re-read some of the noob stuff i skipped over, and definatly think you should run just the subs off that amp. it should sound really nice. those 6x9s should run off your headunit or something. i wouldn't try to get them going on the sub. especially running 150 watts rms through them. boom boom bye bye.

alright, i gotta know, will it be safe to run 1 sub on each channel? or will it be too much power, because both of them on 1 channel sounds like they are pushin it, but i dont know. won't it be twice as much power if i separate them?

also, how should i run the 6x9's from the hu? should i just split the rears and have that run 4 speakers? i guess it wouldnt be a problem having them run all the time, but i would rather have them switched because they face out the trunk, so it's not really necessary to have them on. maybe i could set up a switch to select either the rears or the 6x9s???

thanks a lot perfdrug. you gave me some new options

yeah, i did it before thinking, i know the governing laws of electricity thank you, but thanks for correcting my post.
