[QUOTE="Gary S, post: 3180352, member: 568291"] What kind of head unit do you have? You would probably get better sound from an aftermarket head unit. I would add subs... since you have a 4-ch amp, this will be easy... hook up the front channels of the amp to your 4 - 6.5" speakers (Amp can do this, it's 2-ohm stable. Only thing is, you will not have fading capability... which is usually not that important... as a matter of fact, I would just hook up the front speakers... you might like it better), and set the crossover on those channels to high pass.... hook up the remaining two rear channels of the amp to your subs and set the crossover to low pass. This is called a subwoofer/satellite system, and is the basis of most good car systems. With the front and rear sections of the amp running dedicated, narrower bands of frequencies, it improves efficiency, SPL, clarity, and bandwidth/extension. [/QUOTE]
