i plan on getting kicker door speakers for my truck the fronts are 6x9's 3 way 90rms a piece and the back are 6.5 2 way 65rms a piece they are 4ohm (single i would think correct???) Also will the 6x9's fit or do i have to use 6x8 its a 01 f150 king ranch and for the amp i am looking at a 350.2 and bridge it so it gives off 350 rms at 4ohms so each speakers will get 87.5rms will that work or is it too much and are thos good speakers plese guide me in the right direction, this will happen after i get 2 12's l7 with a 1500.1 kicker amp

Personally, I'd adapt the 6x9's to 7" or 6.5" midbasses and forget about the rears...

If you take Kicker's (give or take) 350w 2-channel amp and bridge it you will have turned into a single-channel amp.

This isn't going to afford optimum imaging when talking about powering front and rear interior speakers in this fashion.

Most thread respondants will likely suggest that you go with a good set of 6.5" components for the front, mounted in adapter baffles to fit the stock oval driver location, and either power the rear speakers with headunit power or not at all and simply ditch them altogether.

(Edit: As evidenced by Jim's post which made it in while I was typing...)

That Kicker amp would be a good choice for front-stage amplification, however. Nice pick.

well i want to keep all 4 speakers running on an amp and basically just for highs because i will have 2 12's l7's (sealed or ported any suggestions) for bass so i just need an amp for the doors also what amp and speakers for the doors do you recommend i have about a 500 dollar budget for the doors and for the amp to the doors.

thanks

your choice is fine, but with your budget I'd invest in a better sounding amp. Look into Rockford power series amps. They are small, pack tons of power, and have great SQ

ok thanks what kind of amp do you suggest for the subs i need 1500 watts rms at either 2ohms or 1 ohm doesnt matter can wire them up either way.

He could run Brax amps and still have shitty SQ if all those speakers are running.

why do you say i will have shitty sq with only 2 subs and 4 highs running
