[Frankie]

hay Guy

Cheers

going by the stats on the amp and speaks, it should run them fine.

4 ohms 60W x 4

You can bridge the 4 channels which will give you 150WRMS x 2 4ohm which is plenty for the 6x9s

[Frankie]

nah i will just leave them the same wont bridge them... but if i was the get anything over 80 RMS than i would have to bridge them

[timelord9]

an amp is not like a light switch, its more like a water tap, ie it doesn't put out its full rated power (ie 60wrms per channel, or 120wrms bridged) unless it receives maximum input power from the headunit, and has enough power from your battery to make it. In other words, your sicbynines and front speakers will rarely, if ever, see 60wrms. Which isnt a problem.
Just make sure you read a tutorial on how to set your gains properly (http://72.14.235.132/search?q=cache:ZfL3RmPgehoJ:www.mobileelectronics. com.au/forums/index.php%3Fshowtopic%3D35875+gain+setting+tutoria l&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=au), then you wont ever overdrive the speakers and break them.

In other words, yes, your amp will be able to drive your speakers. just make sure you avoid setting the gains too high, putting out a clipped signal and blowing the lot.

thanks for the great info on how to set the gains

cheers

no worries champ. any more questions just ask!

[Frankie]

yeh speakers to powerfl rattle in the back and front its annyoing lol

[timelord9]

sounds like you need some sound deadening and some better installation.

Get some dynamat (Ryda, car audio shops) or stinger roadkill (jb hifi). Find a tutorial on how to apply it (its pretty easy! just messy and time consuming). Do the inner front door skins first then the outer skins.

then, make some MDF spacers for your speakers. Bolt the mdf to the door frame, then mount the speaker onto that using some closed cell foam stripping as a gasket. Make sure no air can leak out from the speaker frame, and that it is all securely mounted. Replace your door trim over the top. Bingo...

How are your fullysicbynines mounted? got pics?

[Frankie]

they are mounts in the stock holes that the ek's have,

[timelord9]

well, there's a couple of rules you need to follow

1. make sure they're securely mounted via an mdf spacer
2. make sure the rear soundwave is separated from the front soundwave, ie no holes in the enclosure that they're in
3. make sure the area around it is sound deadened.

good luck!

you reckon this will do anything i havent got spacers there securely mounted,

[timelord9]

try this instead
http://www.ryda.com.au/Dynamat-10455-Xtreme-Bulk-Pack-p/10455.htm

this will fix rattles. use as much as you can in the rattle-y areas!

[Frankie]

yeh that would be nice but its a bit expensive what about the wedge pack and extreme door kit

[timelord9]

buy the biggest pack you can afford. its all the same stuff!

here are some tutorials on the subject

thats looks good the last one but its heaps of work.

[timelord9]

yeah. thats why you pay shops like FHRX (www.fhrxstudios.com)friggin heaps of cash to put speakers in cars. stops the rattles and makes your music sound deadset awesome though!!

[Frankie]

yeh i bet it would sound awesome

[timelord9]

also, dont forget to dynamat the back of your numberplate. This stops people shaking their heads in sympathy and exhasperation when you drive past going ...."...buz buzz BUZZZZZZZZ boom BUZZZZZZZZZ"

:P

[Frankie]
