2 Boston Ac. 3.5's up front (remember this is an Olds)
2 Kenwood Excelon 6x9's in the rear deck
I was powering these four with a 4x65 watt US Accoustics amp.
The other day at work i was bored, and one of my channels was cutting out a bit i thought, so i was fooling around with the faders and balance on the Aiwa cd-mp3. first i played the front left, then front right, then rear right and hollllly ****e what the hell happened. there was so much bass i started laughing. how could this be? so i tried the rear left 6x9 and wow there it was again! then i played just the rears, and it wasnt so impressive...
this is amazing to me, because i had never done this before. I always had the amp powering all 4 speakers at once. When you'd crank it, the bass would distort. I guess by isolating one speaker at a time, the amp could put all its power there, and my 6x9s sounded like a whole new pair of speakers!!
Well since my Infinity perfect 12.1 is out for warranty, I took the 360 PPI 2 channel that I used to power that and hooked it up to the rear deck speakers. Man those things thump! I couldnt believe it! They hit SOOO loud and SOOOO deep without distorting (25 hz) its insane.
So looks like im in the market for a new amp, cause when the sub comes back, the PPI will go back to powering that.
Peace, jake
You sure you don't have your speakers hooked up out of phase? I'd experiment by swapping the (-) and (+) to be sure.
This is exactly what happened when I hooked up a pair of subs out of phase. Together, they'd sound like crap. But, if I faded to right or left, the single sub would sound great. Swapped the (+)/(-) on one of the subs, problem solved.
