Hey everyone,
Super stoked to be a part of the community.
...just installed my first real system. I have a '92 toyota previa with lots of space inside. I recently installed the following: 2 rockford 6x9's (3-ways) and one pair of 5 1/4" pioneer component speakers. these are run through a rockford 300-4 amp. the amp runs fine with the 6x9's connected, but when the pioneers are hooked up, when i turn the system up, the amp goes into protect mode when bass notes hit. i tried turning the gain down on the amp, and messing with the crossover, but i still can't turn it up loud with those 5 1/4" pioneers hooked up. could there be a short in the wiring somewhere, or what? they're suppose to be 2-35 watts RMS (300 watts peak power). am i running too much power to them?
also, i installed a 10" powerbass sub and a bridged powerbass asa 400 amp. it's not enough bass for me. i'd like to put in another amp and sub, but i only have about $300 left in the budget. does anybody have any recommendations?
thanks!
