Exclamation Speaker Help

Hi 2001 grand prix gt after maket

Sony cdx-gt50w
kicker L5
kenwood 9103d mono amp

I just purchased new kenwood 6x9 for the rear deck how can i hook these up to the amp so that the subwoofer and the back are being powered by the amp I changed out the amp with a older two channel and dont think i'm doing it right they sounded like crap. I just need some good advice from smart people thanks for the help

Yes i am using the sub out on the head unit. I have an older pioneer two channel amp that is stable down to two ohms and the subs are 4 ohms also still have the kenwood 9103d 1600 watt mono amp

if your using sub out to 6x9's that is the problem, wrong frequencies they will distort pretty quickly

use the rear preouts for the amp on the 6x9's be sure to have a good distribution block for power, and I like to run a relay when doing multiple amps on the remote turn on to keep from burning it up

you need to pull the radio out, and run an rca line from the radio to the amp, then the 6x9's hook to the amp
