[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8858228, member: 674149"] You don't really have any power. Your head unit is 21w RMS x 4. (It also has 2v preouts). If it was possible to return that and get something different, I would. If you can't, don't lose any sleep over it. Those 150w kickers are tweeters. The r169 are two way 6x9s. I really only see two options here, (unless you want a new head unit): I would buy a 4ch amp for the front and rear doors. Something about 50-60w RMS x 4 @ 4ohms, and forget about those 150w tweeters, return em or sell em. (A different head unit could do 50w x 4 and accomplish the same thing). OR, If you want to get louder, the other option is to find some 6x9 mids in that same 150w RMS range. Get some crossovers to turn this into a set of components up front, Then you either get a 4ch amp that has independent gain control for the separate channels, 1&2 (fronts), and 3&4 (rears), OR you get a set of 150w speakers for the rear doors and a 4 x 150w rms amp. Get a separate amp for your sub. Its 500w RMS, and you can bump that up a little, and you can turn any amp down when you set the gain. I would find an amp in the 600w range RMS x 1 (can probably find for about $100-$150), or a little more. Either way, you're only going to get about 50% volume out of any of this without amps.
