[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8740647, member: 675210"] Two 4 channel amps (8 channels) and 10 speakers. Plus all the subwoofer stuff. I am curious what your goal is with all that stuff. If you are learning then you are learning with a whole bunch of extra stuff to confuse yourself with. Follow my opinion for a moment: Channels 1 and 2 would be the 2.5" and Tweeters in the A-Pillars. I would use a 2 way passive crossover on them as well. On the amp I would cross the high pass to them as high as I could or in the head unit to about 500hz. But only use one or the other crossover (amp or head unit, not both for the same frequency). If you use the head unit set the amp to FULL. Channels 3 and 4 would be the 6.5" speakers in the front doors. I would hope the amplifier offers a band pass crossover for channels 3 and 4 but they don't. Does the head unit offer crossovers? If it does set the crossover to high pass around 80hz then on the amp set the crossover to low pass at 200hz. This will make a band pass for your door speakers of 80hz - 200hz. I would then hook up your subs. Notice I have omitted the rear speakers. For now, this is not a bad idea. I would play with the front first with subs then DOWN THE ROAD purchase a DSP. Then you can add in the other amplifier and the DSP will give you the tools to use ALL the available amplifier channels. I run a 4 channel and a sub amp and a DSP. 2 tweeters 2 mids 2 midbass 2 subs. It is loud and pretty clean. I have passive crossovers on my near pillar mounted tweeters and mids. Sounds VERY full. A primitive DSP would be one of those old school electronic crossovers. Your doors have many small holes and slots. I would look into mounting the speakers as tight to the door as possible and cover those holes and slots as best as you can. Just some ideas. Ultimately it is all up to you. Lot's of luck to you. [/QUOTE]
