[QUOTE="ScuL, post: 8136826, member: 656055"] Thanks guys, the factory unit only has 4x15W output power. I can set all the EQ's to zero, hopefully this will give a fairly "standard" output. The JL Cleansweep is a bit out of budget unfortunately, also I looked at the LC6 but they aren't that cheap either. I liked the price point of the Clarion RCA crossover however that still means I need to add LOC's before it. I came across the following unit as well: [URL="http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pacsoem4-four-channel-converter.html"]http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pacsoem4-four-channel-converter.html[/URL] Would this do an OK job? I can hook up the tweeters to the front-mids by using the supplied passive cross-over box however the biggest pain is that the factory wiring to the tweeters goes from the HU/centre console all the way through the dashboard which means that we will need to remove 80% of it in order to get a stupid wire to get to where the tweeters are. Another thing is positioning; I would actually prefer to have a unit like the LC6 right near the HU as it means that I won't have to double the speaker wiring all the way to the back. However, that also means hiding it inside/under the dashboard and running an extra power lead to it. Plus then having 3 pairs of RCA's going from the front to the boot. Would you recommend to; A. cut wires behind the HU and run them to the boot, put LC6 & amps there? B. cut wires in the doors (at speaker position) and run them to the booth from there? (creating a double loop in the door) Thirdly. I would prefer to avoid cutting any factory plugs in the vehicle. The factory radio uses a quadlock cable. Is there any cable in existance that allows you to "split" merely the speaker wire off a standard quadlock interface yet preserve all other functionality? [/QUOTE]
