Hey guys, I have two 6 1/2 kickers in Liquid Audio cans, and will be wiring them to a Kenwood Deck I am not putting in an amp as I don't want to overload the outboard motor that will be running it all. What should I do for the best quality results, or is it pretty strait fwd in just wiring it to the deck? Any help would be great.

Wire it through your tower, through your hull, to your deck. There are a lot of topics on how to do this cleanly so search before you start drilling. Do you have any other speakers in the boat? I am not sure how much power your deck is putting off but if you are wanting to hear the speakers while riding I don't know if it will happen. Good luck!

Ya I am just looking for imput on power the running an hiding of the wire I can do. The deck is a standard 50X4 so it's the wiring of these and these speakers only off the deck just looking for a way to get the best sound out of these speakers.

I don't think a deck is stable at anything other than 4 ohms, but I am not sure. So....you probably don't have many options other than only using 2 channels.

So is there a special way to wire to get max power to two speakers, or should I just wire so that the left front and back go to one speaker, and the right front and back go to the other?

I've never heard of bridging the deck's channels... I wouldn't attempt anything other than wiring them - 1 to one channel, 1 to the other -

You will fry your deck. Run it 4 ohm stereo

def do not try and bridge , or tie the to sets of channels together , it will fry the output chip in ur deck !!! Just run the tower speakers of the rears , and poss add another set of speakers to the front set of outputs .
