this doesnt make much sense, i know pontiac puts that **** poor amp back in the trunk liner, but i got my kicker 6x9's installed as much of a pain in the ass as it was (i had to disasemble half my car) now i dont get the rumble that i did from the STOCK speakers.... needless to say im a little mad, only thing i can thinks is that the kickers only have 1 input, but that amp should not be overloading them like it is, they have 80 rms rating, so im just like wtf they are the K69's if anyone knows wtf im talking about, just some of your vast knowledge would be helpful.

unless you're running it off a different amp, then u're gonna have a ton of impedance problems...so i'd recommend checking that...
And running speakers that want an amp off of head unit power is not a good thing...it won't be much better than stock...not to mention 6x9's aren't great speakers to begin with..
But, if u wanna fix those up, get an amp...

fixed, it related to what i figured there is a high and low input to the speaker, one has a high input one has a low input, so i still got decent bass at high volumes, but it sounded distorted cuz one was all bass and one was all treble..... so the balancing act was tough, now i just have to figure out a wiring scheme to turn 4 wires into 2 wires which shouldnt take long. thanx for the help
