Hey there. I have a 4 door components 6.5in 2 Jbl Gx608 c for fronts and 2 alpines s65 c for rears plus another 2 6.5 coaxial 4 way pioneers in the rear deck and a selfpowered slim sub 300rms under the front passenger seat... Initially i had my kicker cxa300.4 amp hooked to the 4 components and the sound was okay nothing special. I still can hear distortion a bit past half the volume knob and i honestly wasnt that happy with the sound quality im getting since using decent components (2jbls 6.5 2ohms+2alipines and 2piojeers6.5@4ohms) and a pioneer 2 din headunit. I went ahead and got another 4 channel amp Alpine ktp-445u. Very small and seems efficient according to its reviews(45*4 rms)... and i also got an external 7 band equilizer Cadence Ceq735.. btw all my speakers are 4 ohms. What do you guys think is best way to get the most out of this set up without static noise snd distortion/clipping...also iam not looking for loudness, honestly would be very satified with a crisp&clear without compromising the details and richness of the musical tones . Thanks alot and much appreciated <3

I recommend getting rid of the rear deck speakers. Run the front component set using your Alpine set to 2-channel mode. Power the rear comp set from the Kicker bridged in 2-channel mode- Make sure the gain on the amp is set correctly. Turn OFF all the bass-boost crappola in both amps. Make sure you use high-pass crossovers on teh comps and a low-pass on your sub. 80-100 Hz should work.
