Will i be able to run them?

[joeb87]

Still on a tight budget so everything i am running is cheap and cheerful. At the moment i have the Pioneer 6x9's running from my head unit (45 x 4 W). Next things i want to upgrade are the front speakers and add in a sub. I have pretty much decided on getting the JBL package and looking at getting these JBL components.

What i was wondering is would my HU be able to run the 6x9's aswell as the extra components? I was going to use the amp to just power the sub?

Would this set-up work?

Thanks guys!

your hu will be able to run the 6x9's and comps

i would personally amp them up though, you are getting decent kit there, so would use it to its potential

Ok, i know very little about amps apart from that it's gonna be powering my sub. How will i be able to use my sub to increase the performance of the 6x9s or components? i.e. What will i be connecting my amp to.
Sorry for the stupid sounding question, just learning slowly

Most people will be bored of me recommending the same thing, tough!

I would sack the 6 x 9's, but if you still want to keep them, use the head unit to power them and use the fader to adjust the volume so they don't drag the soundstage to the back of the car

You connect the amp to the head unit using RCA cables. These pass a low voltage signal to the amp. The amp then "amplifies" the signal.

The sub won't increase the 6 x 9 performance, in high power systems it might even decrease it The subwoofers can move a lot of air which can stop the 6 x 9 speaker cone from moving.

Having just comps in the front and a sub in the back gives a better "soundstage" ie, if you were at a concert, the music comes from infront, not behind, so try to replicate the same in your car.

Hope that clears up a few things
