Sorry I havent been around. Right.........
The subwoofer needs a seperate amplifier to run it instead of the headunit. This is due to the power draw that it imposes on the amp. The subwoofer is probably rated at around 150W RMS (see below for quick explanation, its the true power), so we can ignore the 400w max power figure. The headunit (even though it might say 4 x 50w), actually puts out nearer to 4 x 15w RMS (true power), therefore, trying to drive a 150wrms subwoofer with a 15wrms headunit wont work!
I'm not a fan of amping the 6x9's without amping the fronts, as your sitting in the front, and we listen to sound coming from in front of our ears......therefore its best to amp the front speakers. However, your situation is slightly tricky as you only have standard fronts, doh!
If you tell us your budget, we can try and work with it.
But what I would do is this:
1) Buy one 4-channel multichannel amplifier + 1 wiring kit + 10m or so of speaker wire.
2) Bridge two channels together to run the subwoofer (more power available)
3) Use the other 2 channels to run a new set of speakers in the front of the car (ideally components, which have seperate mid's and tweeters, otherwise a set of coaxials will do)
3) Run the 6x9's off of the headunits rear speaker outputs
4) Fade the 6x9's out slightly, so the majority of the sound is coming from in front of you.
A couple of pointers:
- You need to be looking at RMS figures (Root Mean Square) of voltage, not maximum/peak/pmpo/etc ratings. Ideally the amp should deliver the rated RMS value of the speaker it is driving, or be slightly over this value.
e.g. The subwoofer might be 400W max power, but 150W RMS, so look for an amplifier that can give you around 150-200W RMS of power
Now to explain why I've suggested the above setup.....
For the price of a decent 5-channel amp, you can get a 4-channel amp, plus the extra speaker cable, plus a pair of speakers for the front of the car. This setup should benefit you a lot more.
All I really need to know is your maximum budget, then I'll try and suggest a couple of things
Cheers
