6x9 speaker boxes and amp.

[gmctrucks]

OK guys I just bought some 6x9 boxes for some Kenwood speakers I have now im wondering if I really have to put poly fill in them? Next im running my rear and front 4x6 speakers off my Alpine radio that says it's 45x4 and it's sounds good because im running nothing but highs im them and next im running a 2 channel bridged 202 MTX Thunder amp for one 12" Kicker comp sub which sounds great but getting back to the 6x9 speakers I have another 4 channel 404 MTX Thunder amp that I want them connected in my truck but I don't want to drown out my 4x6 speakers because this amp is rated at spec's below
Model Thunder 404
MPN Thunder404
UPC 015442240655

Key Features
Amplifier Type Multi Channels
Channels 4-Channel
Input Voltage 12.5 volt

How should I connect this amp im kinda new to this stuff 35x4 or what? Do you think that it's going to drown out my 4x6 speakers should I leave it as is with no 6x9 speakers any suggestions are welcome? I have all my wiring ready all I have to do is bolt the amp in place and connect it.
Thanks! Roland
For real guys does it ever sound good compare to when I had my cheap radio shack bass cannon now with no bass the radio sounds ugly. I also have my 12'' sub right smack in the middle of my back seat of my 93 ext/cab truck and if I do go with the 6x9 speakers I want to place them by the rear arm rest of back seat. Im going to add my highs are right on the money im running some MA Audio speakers up front which surprised me big times compare to some MTX speakers I had there. Help a confused member out.

Can't help much on this but would say to go with the 6x9's. Maybe Scotty can ring in, he is an electronics guru!

I wouldn't power 6x9's with any more than 50 watts RMS. Unless they are REALLY high wattage speakers, even then maybe 75 at the most.

I would leave the 6x9s out, maybe just power the 4x6s with the amp. that what I would do...

Will the 6x9 boxes fit under the rear seat with the grilled facing forward? If so, that's how I have mounted 6x9 boxes in the past in some trucks. Also, depending on the size of the magnet and the mounting depth, you might be able to top mount them where the rear 4x6's are in the corners. I did that before on a few 88-98 chevy trucks. You have to remove the stock speaker, and trim both the metal it mounts to, and the stock grill/trim panel to top mount/flush mount them in there with the grilled they came with.
And if your front 4x6's are rated for 100 watts or more, you can probably hook them up to the amp like Kris mentioned.

thats not a bad idea scotty about mounting them where the rears are now...

Yeah, I have mounted a handful of sets like that. The hard part is you have to do all that trimming though.
Oh, and you can't do it on the 96-98 trucks that have a third door. Only if they are in the rear corners.

I originally thought about doing it, but then I just couldn't get myself to trim the metal and plastic. Doesn't matter anyways now. I have the 3rd door. Oh well.

trimming is made easy now with things like a dremmel....
