[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8457559, member: 576029"] you have conflicting statements. you said you plan on doing factory integration with the factory amp. if so, you don't need any external amplification. you have a factory front 3-way, mono center, rear 2-way, rear fill, and a sub. if you try to re-use the factory speakers with aftermarket amps you'll need to build passive crossovers for them. there aren't any processors that can handle that many speakers ran full active (except maybe several linked PXA-H900 @ $2,500 each). there are 13 factory speakers + a factory sub. without adequate amplification and processing, you won't improve on the factory system. a typical upgrade would be as follows: 4 channel [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1"]#1[/URL] : power the front door 3-way with a single 4 channel amp. mid and tweet together with a passive crossover between them. 4 channel [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2"]#2[/URL] : bridge two channels to the center. run rear door woofer and tweeter with a passive crossover between them. ditch rear fill ditch factory sub. you could use a MiniDSP 2x4, one on each 4 channel amp, for processing capability.
