[QUOTE="ronjon228, post: 4239122, member: 551820"] Ok, let me sort this out. Right now you're running all 4 of those speakers off that 4-channel amp, then your sub from the mono amp correct? If this is the case, you're most likely running that 4-channel amp at either 2ohms bridged x2 (series) or 8ohms bridged x2 (parallel). If it's running at 8ohms then that would explain the weak power output. If it's running at 2ohms, it definitely should be getting loud enough. Also, I'm having trouble getting a real RMS rating for the amp. The one site says that 300x2 @ 4ohms is max power, the other claims it as RMS. I'll have to do some more digging to give you a final answer. Right now, it's looking like you should ditch all those 6x8's and get yourself 1 quality component set. You can get 6" components that should fit right into your 6x8 holes with an adapter mount/baffle. Then, just figure out where to mount the tweeters which is incredibly easy. I'll get back to you after I do some more searching on this amp... Well, I'm looking for the true specs on this amp and almost every place is claiming that it's 300x2 RMS @ 4ohms. I find this hard to believe. Most likely it's fairly overrated. That being said, even if it's pushing 200w RMS it would be just fine for a quality component set. That's the direction I would take first. I'm pretty sure Phoenix Gold makes the RSD comps in a 6" size. Ideally you would want to go with 6.5" as they would give you more sound. Is there any way you can fit 6.5" or do you have to use the factory positions without doing any modification? [/QUOTE]
