[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 190958"] There's nothing wrong with your amp mate. Forget the 1300W max, means nothing, your sub is 'really' a 380W one, as the rms wattage is what matters. Unfortunatelly I've forgotten my A-level physics so can't recall the reasons behind it. Something to do with sine waves etc. etc. Companies put max values so they can make it sound better than it is. 380W is still plenty though, it's all about the quality! A quick tip, don't throw tons of wattage in there without doing some serious sound dampening. You'll just end up with a rattling piece of **** (the boy racer type), everything will sound worse than the standard equipment. I'd deffinatly consider upgrading the existing mids and get some/replace the tweeters also, so the bass doesn't drown everything else out. Don't care what people say, music is no longer music unless you hear the whole song, that means hearing the mid and high tones also (a nice dollop of bass just improves most songs though). Finally, if you want to improve the sound further, use some crossovers. These will split the signal up into the relevant frequencies, low to the subs, mid to the mids and high to the mids/tweeters. Edit/ sorry, missed the 6x9's part in your above post. [/QUOTE]
