[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8923793, member: 689267"] Ah, so there is a conundrum, of sorts. 6x9 coax's in the rear, done. Up front, things get a little more interesting. You don't want to run multiple tweeters in a front stage; it's not good. I would run 6.5" midbass in the doors, crossed (HP filter) between 70-80 and (LP filter) at 350Hz. That takes two channels. Then, I'd run the 3.5 coaxials in the dash (which all come with caps, passive crossovers on the tweeters, so they are accounted for), on another set of channels that cross using an HP filter from the head unit or the amp at 350Hz. That's 6 channels of amplification for the front and the rear fill. Then I'd get a couple of 12s for the trunk. Then a monblock subwoofer amp. So 7 channels of amplification, 2 amplifiers. It's doable on a 5-channel amp, but it changes the front stage (not a terrible thing at all, a little less height). Are you set on a single amplifier? On a 5-channel system, you would run 2-way components up front, tweeters in the dash, 6.5s in the doors, split by a passive crossover, 2 channels of amplification, 2 more channels to the rear 6x9s, then the 5th is the monoblock channel, and this is totally doable as well. I have a very good option for this if you want to keep it simple, seriously, not an issue. Just let me know if that is the way you want to go [/QUOTE]
