Q: Questionhow easy would it be to jump this off my 600w amp and hook 2 6x9s to this amp? i have a bigger wire so plenty of power.

Asked 6 years ago by shawn.

• A:Answer Many people focus too much attention on the rear speakers. Rear speakers are for "rear fill". If your front speakers are able to create a good front stage and proper imaging AND be able to play clearly at high volume levels to balance out the subs, rear speakers are usually not necessary. Take out the 6X9s that reside in your rear deck. If you feel the need to put rear speakers later on, go with something small like a 5.25 in a coax.

Q: QuestionCan this amp be bridged at 2 ohms for 90 watts rms?

Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Sure can. You don't quite see 90wrms out of each channel, but 75-80 is not unheard of. Works great to power a beefier pair of speakers without going into a full 4ch amp

Q: QuestionWith the RCA's does this mean I don't have to run speaker wires to the amp? Do i just plug the RCA's to the amp then to the back of the stereo? Or do I need to do both? Thanks

Asked 3 years ago by JScribn1.

• A:Answer The rca's provide the input voltage needed for the amp to produce sound. The amp must be connected/wired to speakers as well. How can speakers produce sound without being connected to the amp? They cant.

Q: QuestionDoes this amp mount to the alpine ilx-w650?

Asked 4 years ago by Steve.

• A:Answer Yes... i've had this amp installed behind the ilx-w650 in a 2011 honda civic powering 4 kicker KCS660 speakers.... thinking about changing the speakers though because the amp is turned down to between 1/4 - 1/2 on the gains... that's about all the speakers seem to be able to handle. Also, the HPF works great.
