Going Active

Hey guys im redoing my mids highs and getting rid of crossovers..I have a power 800x4 and a power 600x4.. 3 components in each front door and 2 in back doors..should I use 800 for just mids and the 600 for the tweets and if I do how would I wire that?..I only have 4 wires running down each side of car for speakers I had crossovers hooked up in parallel. Do I have to run more wires from amp to speaker that would be 10 speaker wires going down each side for 5 woofers and 5 tweets ..and if i stay with the 4 runs I have and hook up woofers in parallel and tweets in parallel how would I wire it and use all the channels on amp? thnks

What's going to do the crossovers now? You need 6 channels to work with.

Yeah, 10 sets of wires going to the amps. You only have 8 channels to work with though...something's not gonna get connected. Where are you using active x-overs...HU or amps?

I'll be using the amps for now as a crossover until I get a processor..so on the 600x4 I'm only gonna be using 2 channels for all the tweets?
