[quote=djracer;4760958]Are the 6x9's in boxes? if they are not they will sound horrible. I can't tell from the pictures. I would not run any of the speakers off the radio and I would put both left speakers on one channel and both right channel speakers on the other. Any speakers hooked to the amp will not play when the remote wire is not on.
Yes, the 6x9 are in boxes, not real big ones, but as big as under seat would allow. The reason i was thinking of running the 6.5's off the radio was so that if the truck wasn't running i could still listen to the radio without having to worry about killing my battery. Is this a bad idea?

that hiphonic amp driving 4 speakers will set the failsafes in the amp as it overheats
no matter the ohm load.. it's not a high current amp design..
I've never had good luck with that brand.. they always cut off ,overheat
if you drive your truck any lenth of time, with the volume up.. you'll not be happy with that amp..

I already have this AMP so i'm going to use it, just trying to decide the best way to hook it up. Granted i know very little about AMP's..., but what research i did do on these old AMP's is that they were very well made. The company was bought out a while ago and the quality went down hill after that.

Make the ground 18 inches or less. You already have it just try it. If you are no happy with the results then change it. I think you will be more than pleased with it.

Thanks, there's not alot of info out there about these AMPs, but what i found, agrees with what your saying. Also, thanks for the tip about how to properly ground it.
