how did you set the gains?

Your amp is going into protect. How have you got the speakers wired up, might be to low of a load for the amp to handle. The amp itself is also a problem ssl doesn't do nearly what its rated at. What kind of headunit do you have.

if it was me ied sell that amp and get a good 4channel, but if you have to use that i would wire them in series/parallel like this

do you know what series and parallel means? if not

you need to do this with each side of your amp, should give you 6ohm stereo, amp will run at this so no problem

wire the 6x9 like the bottom speaker, and the 6&1/2's like the top 2 and you should be good

and your amp will run cooler, and would be easier on your speakers, hope this helps

just do this on each channel of your amp and you should be good, still would switch to a 4 channel tho .

this is about the only way i know how to show you to wire what you have atm, hope this helps, if you have any questions about the pic just ask

_{My gain is set between low and half way on the gain and for the head unit i got a pioneer and about the series and parallel how do i do all 6 speaker}

[truthsayer]

The example he gave you is for one side, like the left channel. Then you do the same for the right channel. But gain needs to be set with a meter or o-scope.

Oh ok thanks

[Pedro Rivera]

[truthsayer]
