cinq rear side panel speakers

[sjg1983]

hello

i am thinking of replacing the 2 rear panel speakers in my cinq and i was wondering is it hard to do?? what size are they??? and cud i connect them to my amp in the boot

i got the car with the amp all i know is that its a kenwood amp and a kenwood head unit

^^^speaker^^

and this is connected to it what is it

um does your post make sense?
i cant tell if you can use the amp as i dont know how many channels it has nor how many of them are in use.
rear panel speakers in a cinq?do you mean in the rear side panels or shelf?
is the amp hooked up to speakers just now?if so look where the speaker cables connect to the amp and see if theres more terminals

what cat?

 

[sjg1983]

well i found this as i know nothing about amps at the mo you mite be able to make sense of it

Kenwood KAC-279S

 

[custard]

if its a 2 channel amp(assume thats what dual channel refers to)then it can run 1 sub(bridged)OR one pair of speakers.
why do you want to change the rear 6x9's?

 

[sjg1983]

dnt wanna change the rear one i mean the ones in the side panels cud i change them and connect em to the amp and whats that lil box for??

 

[custard]

box is just a power splitter to split one cable to two. do you have 2 amps?
what side panel speakers do you mean?the ones in the dash?
you can run speakers with the amp but whatever its running now will be disconnected.it can only run one pair of speakers or one sub

 

[sjg1983]

humm no only 1 amp dunno what that is for

ahh wont bother with that then if i can only run 1 pair of speakers off the amp i wud like to get a box but wudnt get one to fitt in the boot

 

[sjg1983]

can any one point me to s site that does amps

want to get a kenwood amp

the car is all wied up so would it be a case of taking one amp out and fitting the other one aand then i cud fit the speakers i got in the rear sides of the back seats

cheers

or you could run 2 amps.why do you think you cant run a sub? i have 2 amps and a 10" sub in my boot

as for links you could look in the umm links section? or just google as theres tons of places

also what speakers do you have?your plannig to have the rear 6x9's and then run speakers in the rear quarter panels?
have you upgraded the front speakers? your going to end up with no front soundstage at all

 

[sjg1983]

the front speakers re still the old ones that were in it i.e standard fiat ones

n e suggestions on some new spearkers for those???

would they need to be connected to the amp??

 

[custard]

whacking speakers in left right and centre is not the way to work.decide what you want and then build towards it.
i run a 10" jbl sub in the boot running of an alpine mono amp.
i have jbl 6x9's in an mdf rear shelf(may be changing)
and a set of kicker ccomponents up front. they are 10cm so the mids are mounted in the standard position with the tweeters mounted in my funky red door cards.
the speakers run off a jbl gto 4 channel amp.
quite happy with the set up and the kicker components i recommend heartily.

whats your budget as well as its not cheap!

 

[sjg1983]

well im not sure what budget jus go along with it n hope the mrs dnt find out i pose

will look for speakers for fornt on ebay now so they are 10cm are they,

any pointers as where to get a different amp from with more than one channel???

cheers for the help

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18800&item=5802279670 this is what i fitted to the front.amps is really down to budget.personaly avoid cheap brands with big power and go with known brands. theres pics of how my install used to look in my gallery.changed a bit since then though

 

[sjg1983]

yeah i know go for the brand at the mo every thing is kenwood in the car so will try and keep it kenwood if i can


n e idea where i can get a kenwood 4channel amp????

 

[custard]

in reply to getting a box in the boot, we've got a 12" in ours, (the box is the right volume for the sub) and we bought it off ebay. Fits so snugly it doesn't need holding down. Sounds ruddy awesome.
