Well i wanna connect my rear 6x9's to the amp.

The amp is 600watts and the sub its running is only 200watts - i have the sub bridged.

So i thought i might be able to run the 6x9's off the amp aswell.

So is this a good or bad idea and if its a good idea do all i need to do is run wire/cable or wat ever down to the amp like in the pic and would i need to unbridge the sub>???

Hope that makes sence.

Edit: of corse i wouldnt just have the wire hnging there like that!!

I don't get it.

So you have a 4ch amp and you're only running a sub off it atm? Perhaps a front stage as well?

give us more details on what else is in ur system etc.

if you want to run front stage with teh fronts, then you can't run the rear 6x9s and sub together with that amp.

Choose between the two. It doesn't matter really. 6x9s are rear fill, who cares about the ppl in the back. leave it running off your headunit.

yeah i have a 4chan amp, and its only running the 200watt 15" sub atm, and i thought maybe the 600watt is a bit too much for it so i thought i could run the other speaker off it.

Amp up your Fronts or invest in another 15 inch sub of the same Type as you have now and use that amp to its full potential....

There is always the GAIN control!

4 Channel Amp
2 Channels Bridged = Sub
2 Channels - 1 for left front other right front. Turn gain down on amp if neccessary.

Power the rear speakers from the deck.

Easy.

-I know this is going to sound weird, but does the 1450 have the FIE function on it ??
FIE= Front Image Enhancer.... This will automatically low pass your 6x9's and may help with your Staging...


Seperately, Your Deck only has One Rear RCA output which would make amping your Fronts a little difficult... I would invest in and RCA converter and then use it to turn your Front speaker Line out puts to RCA's then run this to your AMP giving you the Ability to Amp your Fronts and just run your 6x9's off the deck...

Yes it does have this function and i have no idea what it does.

I just told you what it does.. It turns what ever speakers you have on the Rear into Quasi Subwoofers by cutting out their treble frequencies..
