RMS wise, What would be the most ideal speaker setup considering front doors and rear deck Without over or under working the amp?

I'm using this amp to power two infiniti 6 X ('s, and also front door speakers also infiniti, 6 inch plus inch dome tweeter in the spots where my monsoon system came 9out of. it CRANKS !!!!! you'll love this 4-channel amp. no distortion. I love it.

60-120 rms speakers would be ideal. i have 2 sets of polk db6501 rated for a 100 watts rms and this amp pushes them great without problem in prolonged load listening. don't worry about under powering a speaker that is why they have controls on the amp and the only way you can under power the amp is to not supply it with a large enough power and ground wire

For the price, I've found that Infinity speakers work very well. I use 6x8's in the rear and components in the front. (93 Mustang). RMS should be 125w each at least. Works terrific!

Similar size and spec car speakers are driven by as low as 25 watts. I would recomend at least 35 watts to handle loads at higher listening levels and bass. Anything below that might end up sounding muddy.

Depends on your system and sound you need. Are you lacking in bass ? If your room is small. 12 x12 you might be ok depending on your acoustics. If you want more bass and your amp can drive them, go for the 163. I enjoy the 153's and 143's however i have a polk powered sub and polk towers that push plenty of bass. The 153 is a good bookshelf speaker i use as my rear surrounds. The offer pretty good base. The 143 i use as side surrounds.

Just as long as your sub and speakers watts/rms all adds up to about 300, you should be good. Bridge the sub to get more oomph. But this can have your speakers with less power. You don't want to overload your amp. IMHO, get a mono amp that will power your sub and leave this 300w amp for your other speakers. It's what I did.

Just select a stereo amp for them as you would for any 50W 4 ohm speaker but; you're going to have to make sure they are fastened to the frames in the seats to transmit the most vibration to the occupant. I think putting them in the back would be best if you've room. Be really happening with one in the bottom as well. That way it would be impossible to realize where the vibration emanates from. Crazy out-of-the-box idea man. The kind I like the best!

I run a hifonics 500rms x 2 @ 2 ohms for 4 speakers and ran that for at least 5 yrs and have yet to have any issues with them. Ive overheated the amp a few times(more than likely due to poor design) but the speakers have handled it just fine and I run them hard often.Just bought a new truck and plan on installing a set in it as they have never given me issues.

Sound will project more with better base. Add an amp and see for yourself. Why els would you buy speakers that your deck unit would underpower...

You should do some more research as answers vary. Are you running 2channel? Bridged? Read the instructions, I don't recall the output in each mode, but it depends on the resistance of the speakers. Seems to me 250w rms speakers will do fine with that amp...

Buy speakers with high sensitivity. This amp clips easily under heavy load. So get 8 ohm nominal speakers. Klipsch may be a good starting point. Maybe zu audio, but they are pricier

Well.. All depends on wind, and quality of the EQ, amp etc. On my little setup I have an Alpine 200 rms 4 channel, it's usually LOUD and clear for about 50-75 yds, but wind really kills it sometimes

Sorry, I used an amp to run my subwoofer, I have a pioneer 1200watt subwoofer, so i didnt want to use only the pioneer deck. i know this does not help you, but i use the deck alone to power my door speakers and they work great.

I am using fh6-lcr's as fronts and center for two years they are wonderful.Make sure your amp has enough to push them.Remember center channels make the best speakers.Also fyi you have to stand them up vertically for proper sound when using as surrounds,Google for technical reason.

i read some other guys doing it, but i think you will be a little weak on power, and i had a problum over heating when used at 90% gain. i had to back down to 60%to solve the over heating auto shut down, its a nice clean amp and at 60% it will push my 4 polk audio db651s very very loud and clear....i have 2 8in subs that will shake the car using a boss R1100m amp .....myself ,go with 2 amps, or just one on the subs and the fullrange off the head. the boss is low cost ,and has been getting thrashed 2 hrs a day 6 days a week for almost a year and every thing in the car works as new...... hope this helped

I have 6 sets a bit closer...I would use 12AWGIt's better to use the thickest wire so you have no drops over long runs...mine sounds amazing.I would recomend getting the sub and place it between the two speakers...it makes a huge diff but not needed.You actually get a full range outside.

Plenty for bedroom use, and can shake the windows with a little dirt. I use an old Peavey 12" extension cab as output. I'll use my Fender Mustang III if I want to go quiet and clean - it's 100 Watts, but has a master volume that doesn't change the tone much at low volumes.

I am running:4xInfinity Reference 6032cf 6.5-Inch 180-Watt High-Performance 2-Way Speakers (Two speakers on Channel 1 and Two speakers on Channel 2)1x Pyle PLPW8D 8-Inch 800 Watt Dual 4 Ohm Subwoofer (Bridge Channel 3 and 4)(Running a 10" would be better since amp can run it fine)

I use an 8 channel Behringer mixer to control the sound. The left and right channels are backed off 3 notches from max. Using these settings, and two JBL 1000W loudspeakers, If I go over about two thirds volume it is too loud in a 30X50 foot hall. Using my system outside, the same settings are perfect for a 60X80 yard area where people have ample room not to be too close to the speakers. I push roughly 700 watts to drive both speakers with very good sound quality. At max levels, I still have no distortion. I hope this is helpful to you. I love this amp and highly recommend it. It reduced the weight of my road box by around 25 pounds. I would definitely purchase another to replace the one I have when that time comes.
