Expand Ill have to disagree with you on this one, the 2 channel amp is a nakamichi PA-D1000B, which is 500w @ 4 ohm, 750w @ 2 ohm, and 1000w @ 1 ohm, being a boilermaker my grasp of electronics isn't exactly huge, but I know I can wire it up in a couple of configurations in 2 ohm and 1 ohm, and my speakers being 75w rms each, Ill have enough power for them. I hadn't thought about the fading thing though, don't know how much of a huge effect this will have. Put simply, Im not buying a new amp as of yet, Im already in for a headhunt and A/V Conversion I wasn't looking to buy haha. Im not chasing SQ or SPL, otherwise I would have bought much better speakers etc than the ones I did, and Id be running a bigger sub(s) in the boot with proper boxes etc. Im just chasing something that sounds better than stock, and trying to use as much of the gear I currently have as possible, and I'm aware of the compromises and limitations that has Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92526-ba-xr6-adding-second-amp-using-oem-amp-for-sub/page/4/#findComment-1617006 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean first thing is its a mono and not even a 2 channel! If you dont even know what that means to your sound setup I suggest you stick with your standard system.... Secondly that amp wont do hpf so you will get no tones through ANY of your speakers unless its 50hz whoch I bet your speakers wont do (because they are mid/high range) Thirdly a single chan amp cant run 2 chan signal little own 4 chan signal. Bridging a chan would be minimally acceptable...... I wont keep going here but goodluck! lol 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92526-ba-xr6-adding-second-amp-using-oem-amp-for-sub/page/4/#findComment-1617009 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply thought 2 x sets of RCA's were outputs, not 1 x input and 1 x output. I didn't buy the amp, it came in the car already installed. I apologise for not being an expert. No big deal, I guess my hand is forced and ill have to fork out for an amp while I'm at it.

Get a 4x50w amp and a H/U with 4 or more rca outs. Winning! 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92526-ba-xr6-adding-second-amp-using-oem-amp-for-sub/page/4/#findComment-1617013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
