[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8854582, member: 674149"] Here is how you set your gains correctly to your desired wattage: [MEDIA=youtube]gg2gl-fz2Qc[/MEDIA] Uhhhh hmmmm (an adult is going to put in the effort so you CAN go for volume competition, if you wanted to). 😃 I know your speakers are quite a bit different for wattage. Here is what I would suggest to you. BUY AN AMP THAT LETS YOU SEPARATELY ADJUST YOUR GAINS, if you're going to use a 6 ch amp. Personally, I would rather use two amps, not only because you can adjust it correctly for your speakers, but 6ch is going to cost more than two smaller amps, and I hope you have already figured out where a larger 6ch amp is going to fit. You just buy 3 way blocks, and that's the only difference. If you have a different amp already or access to one, I would hook up your higher wattage 6x9s, and see how loud they can get off ~rated voltage +10%. You're going to see how much louder they COULD get if you give em enough power. (Kenwood excelon head unit, set your gains with your head unit on 34 out of 35, that SHOULD BE where your rated voltage is, based on my other 2 kenwoods (think i said this already). [/QUOTE]
