[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8675016, member: 676005"] Actually, I had a closer look at your amplifier. You can run a subwoofer on the rear channels bridged. This is the way to do it; [LIST][*]disconnect your rear speaker output in your amplifier and set it to low pass; [*]Connect the RCA on the front and rear channels to your amp from your head unit; [*]You can use a single subwoofer to bridge the rear channels on your amplifier to run a single 4 ohm subwoofer ( or if you have dual 8 ohm subwoofers) but with bridged channels, it has to be 4 ohm as the amp will see a 2 ohm load; [*]With regards to the bass, use a ported box as you are not getting much 'grunt' with 120 rms going through them but with some amplifier tweeking and running your speakers in high pass mode, you should be able to get a balanced sound from the front speakers that can blend in with your subwoofer; [*]set the cross over at 100hz high pass on the speakers and subwoofer and see if the speakers sound good as you turn the volume to adjust the gain on the amplifier; [*]If the front speakers, are lacking bass, turn the cross over point to 80hz / same for the subwoofer and see how does that sound to you; [*]If the current amp does not provide the 'thump from the subwoofer/s then it may be time to invest in a monoblock a 500 watt would be a good start. [*]Then in future, you could bridge your current Kenwood amplifier to run more power to your speakers, and with a monobloc, it should provide more 'thump' to your system but use what you have now and see how you go. :suave: [/LIST] [ATTACH]5362._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
