How will this sound?
 
Hi im new here :stroke:
I bought myself

2x 6x9 Pioneers 400w
1x 12" Pioneer sub 1000w
1x AT Audio 2600w Amp

Will this sound decent?

That's a tough one to answer. Will it play music? Yep. I personally wouldn't go this route but you may find it fantastic.

I couldn't find the amp's specs after a quick search so I'm going to assume you're talking peak watts and that it's a mono amp. To be frank, if you're going to be running the 6x9's off deck power then the setup will likely sound like crap compared to what it should/could with a decent speaker amp at around 75-150w+ RMS x 2 to them. If the amp is rated 2600w peak and it's half-decent then it would probably be a fairly good match power-wise to the sub, just need to tune the gain properly.. and i hope you're not planning on running any smaller than 4gauge power wiring to it.

What box will the sub be going into?

I'm gunna go out a limb and say sound very mediocre AT BEST.
your gunna want more regardless so buying this money you could have used towards actual quality equipment. save up then choose a set up that will work for the future is what i tell most people with starter systems

Sorry for late reply

Here is the amp specs

2 OHMS RMS Output 155w x 4
4 OHMS RMS Output 90w x 4
Max Power : 2200w
4 channel amp

@Culton ..
what box do you recommend ,

What do you guys recommend on this sound system?

Colton 03-22-2012 09:09 PM

What model is it?

If it's a Pioneer TS-SW1241D then according to bassworx, 0.8cu.ft ported or sealed would be optimum. http://www.bassworx.com/matrix/#woof...2:TS-SW1241D:1

And as for the amp, that 4 channel is a second amplifier, not one you planned on hooking up to the sub, right? 90w x 4 RMS is a pretty good amount of power for speakers

2MuchTreble 03-23-2012 01:08 AM

Its the ts-w309 champion series woofer ,

The idea is to hook the amp up to the sub , is this not a good idea ?

Should i get another amp :confused:?

Im thinking of putting the 6x9's on the amp and the sub on the amp ...

audio1der 03-23-2012 09:05 AM

You're going to bridge 2 of the channels to the sub? Your sub is 300W rms, so that may be a good match. Not sure if the amp has built-in sub crossover, so that is something to consider (you NEED that for the sub; if that amp doesn't have it, you'll need an outboard passive x-over, or a different amp)

2MuchTreble 03-24-2012 01:57 AM

the amp has a crossover and im going to bridge the sub on ch3 and ch4 ..
And the 6x9's on ch1 and ch2

i will install it later this week so i will just have to wait and see how it sounds :smokin:

Colton 03-24-2012 02:15 AM

Okay that changes things, should be a decent setup man. Sub will probably be under-powered but it'll fill in the lows better than nothing, and you have a good amount going to the speakers.

Let us know what you think of it!
