    Red face Advice on a 6 speaker set up

    Hey guys, don't know is anyone has asked this before but i counldnt find it.

    I need some help,
    this is what i have in my VY atm.
    Ive got a pioneer head unit.
    JL audio VR 6" splits in the front doors
    JL audio TR 6x9" in the back
    JL audio A1400 to run speakers above
    JL audio 300/2 (i think) to run my subs
    2 Kicker 12" subs

    so head unit runs nothing, the amps do it all.

    The problem i have is i wanna put 6" spits or just 6" speakers in the back door (as i love it loud) but how would i run these? can i plug them in the A1400 amp where the 6" splits are currently as well?
    Or do i need another amp? Cause i don't wanna run anything off the head unit.

    All advice welcome, thanks guys

    Are you sure that the amp is a JL Audio A1400? Its just the only JL amp i can find info on with that model number is a 1000w monoblock.

    Basically, if you have the specs on the amp and it can run at 2ohm (should say something like 80w x 4 at 4 ohm, 110w x 4 at 2 ohm) then you can hook the front splits and rear door speakers off the front output channels.

    yeah i think its that model, my G/F has my car at the moment.
    so your saying i can run 6 speakers from a 4 channel amp? is that right?

    nothing really, but you get heaps more quality sound from an amp.
    just rather that

    You can run up to eight 4 ohm speakers off a 4 ch. amp........provided its 2 ohm stable and your not "bridging" the outputs. Most amps arent 2 ohm stable when bridged.
