Hello,

Pardon my ignorance; I'm a novice.

Amp = JBL GT5-A604

JBL GT5-A604 (GT5A604) 640W Max 4-Channel GT Car Amplifier

RMS Power @ 4 ohms 60 watts x 4 channels

RMS Power @ 2 ohms 80 watts x 4 channels

RMS Power @ 1 ohm Not Stable

Bridged RMS Power 160 watts x 2 channels

Components = DLS UP6i 2-Way 4 Ohm

DLS UP6i 2-Way 4 Ohm 6.5" 360W Component Speaker (pair) - Car Audio Products | dlsaudio.com

Power handling capacity: 150 W RMS

I bridged 4 channels to 2 channels to run the two components. So I have 160w RMS at the amp going to 150w RMS speakers, correct? My amp is currently not working at all and I think it started because of a bad distribution block and/or wires (melting at the distribution block...yikes!) which I've since replaced, but I just want to make sure it doesn't have anything to do with my speaker/amp combo.

Thanks.

It would also be easy to add an equalizer to have individual rca inputs for all of the channels. A decent one can be had for less than $40...

This tested well on youtube - not familiar with the brand but it is a pretty standard china build house amplifier...

I agree with every one above. OFC is much better. Copper is a much better conductor than aluminum.
