Bucket wrote: I ended up buying a 12" 1300w Sony Explod including the box for 50$. It's a 380RMS sub, and i'm using my 4chan amp. I've bridged ch1 and ch2 for a total of 280RMS so thats good enough for me. Only thing I was gunna do was run ch3 for a left 6x9 and ch4 for the right one and set it on a HFP. Only prob is my headunit doesn't have another 2 RCA slots to run ch3 and 4 
The amp should only have one set of rca plugs for input so you only need the one line coming from the head unit. So ch3 & 4 recieve the same signal as 1 & 2. Plug the speakers in, they should work.

I thought that would be the case but i couldnt get any sound out of the 6x9s and I tried different settings and nothing. It worked when i switch the RCA plugs into the other two amp inputs.
I'll have another play in the morning.

Figured it out after giving a mate a call it and was pretty obvious. Need a headunit with the second set of RCA out.
Oh, and I think my amp might be really dodge, because my subs already gone funny.

you can buy RCA splitters.. not that expensive, you get them from autobarn, super dear, REPCO etc
have used them heaps of times in systems that i have had. haven't had any problems with them

When I turn my gain up or increase the LFP DB boost from 0->6 or 0->12, my sub just pops in and out and my whole system pumps this low "woomp" sound. I think my amps fucked.

I went over my wiring a few times and it's all very strong.
I tried plugging my 6x9s into it and the same thing happens to them when I turn up the gain. Ah well, stupid cheap powervox
