would this amp work for my 6x9's?????????????????

[ozzy87 10+ year member]

I've got some 350 watt max pioneers (don't remember the rms sorry) which don't have any amplifier hooked up to them. I've also got an old kenwood KAC-526 monoblock amp, my question is could i hook the amp up to the 6x9's without problems? Also how well would they work together?

monoblock amps are for woofers only....just get a 2 or 4 channel amp for it...if you hook it up you might blow them

as long as it can run full range it will work....

I know i'm a newbie, but why would you be able to hook a monoblock up to 2 subwoofers and not 2 6x9's?

you could actually do that?....mostly people that have monoblock amps just use them with woofers

i don't know anything about the amp, a buddy gave it to me, is it to powerful or no?

because ok...6x9's were made for mids..(not for bass)...monoblock amps were made for bass(woofers only)...thats why theres multiple of diffrent amps made to work with certain type of speakers or woofers

EDIT: some one correctly me if im wrong

do you even know the rms wattage of the amp?....

no, i've tried google and it doesn't come up with anything, it has a 15amp fuse so i'd guess 150

its just one ch...(mono block) most are stable at least 2 ohms..so 2 four ohm 6x9's will give it a 2 ohm load.....it is in the rear deck...so seperation is not an issue like door speakers...as long as it has full range it should be perfect...if its a low pass only amp it won't work and will only be good for a small sub

wouldn't that combine the left/right sound into one channel eliminating independent control of the speakers

Does it look like this? http://www.audiophile.pl/p/219_kenwood_kac-526

Manual here http://www.scribd.com/doc/3275711/Kenwood-KAC526-kac526pdf-Owners-Manual-English says 2x35wrms or 1x100wrms bridged.

Quite a powerhouse.

It would but as mentioned you likely wouldn't be able to notice too much anyway.
