Default A little suggestion.

This is my frist time doing a amp setup etc.. I have 2 kappa compoennts in the front and 2 in the back running off of a MRV 307.. (i think) alpine v12 amp. i believe its like 75 x 4 . it sounded ok but it lacked bass and my friend put in 2 12's in a box and that thing sounded really good but its too heavy and too loud for me so i went online and found some pioneer 6x9s 500 watt max 120 -150 rms and put two in 6x9 boxes and 2 on the hatch cover..

I was thinking about hooking up the ones with box to the front channels and the other 2 to the rear channels... so thats 8 speakers total.. now will it still sound pretty decent or will it be better off with just the ones with the box??? or can i run the front component off of the regular deck power rather than the amp and have the rest running off of the amp?

what is the most efficent way to wire them up in terms of power?

dont bother with doing 2 pair of 6x9's. if 2 12" subs were too much, just get 1 12" or even a 10". the kappas will need to be amplified to perform up to their full pontential. i have a brand new polk momo 12" sub for sale (check my signature).

forget the 6x9's get yourself a sub one 10, one 12 whatever fits you budget or desire for bass, run them off of the back half of the amp (the rear outputs) bridged, and run you doors off of the front half, the alpine amp will be able to handle the load
that'll get you what you want faster than a pair OF 6X9'S
