phoenix gold rsd, kenwood x-889

[y2kbugger 10+ year member]

I purchased a pair of the 6cs comps and 6x9's

the power rating are confusing, some say 5 watts rms and some say 60 watts rms

some say 120 peak

now is this for each speaker, or for the pair?

I wanted to get a MBQ dsc 4125 and turning down the gain to power them. but that seems overkill. I also have 5v preouts, so it may be hard to turn down the gains sufficiently.

but my kenwood has 50 watt rms per channel out, same as the dsc450. so theres no point in getting the 450 and spending so much for nothing. So I really don't know what to do for powering my mids...

any help would be nice, are the 50 W RMS ratings on a Kenwood x-889 trustable for the amp out?

well the HU is in my possession, and the fuse is 10 AMP so 120 watts @ 12 v 144 watts being liberal s nowhere near the rated rms of 200...

this means even the DSC 450 would be beneficial, do you guys recommend going 450 or 4125?

The kenwood does 12 or 18 per channel. Get the 4125.

Thanks man, any disagree?

how much rms will each of these speaker types take, for when i'm setting my gains.
