I have a few quick questions that I'm hoping you guys can help me with.

First I have a Kenwood deck 50Wx4 with only rear pre-outs.

1) I just installed some Infinity Reference 6.5's for my front stage. I also have a set of Kappa 1" tweets located behind the mirrors. They sound sweet when cranked, but I lose all balance/timbre at lower volumes - this means I need MORE POWER, right?

2) If i'm right with question #1, how should I wire the 2-channel JBL amp I have? Because the HU only has rear pre-outs, do I wire it "backwards" with the rear pre's feeding the amp to the front speakers, and reverse the factory wiring to run the rear fill off the deck's front output? Or should I run the line level front output from the HU to the amp?

Sorry if my description is confusing- I can try to clarify if need-be.

Thanks
Dave

 

I don't know if yours does, but a lot of amps have 'speaker level inputs'. They will be either a clamp type or a screw(Probably the same as your outputs) This is where you run your fronts from HU to the amp then from amp to speakers. If all your amp only has are the rca inputs, you'll have to put some rca's on your leads coming from your HU. Same for outputs if only rca for that matter.
