Hi, I purchased a car (Toyota Highlander 2005) which was initially with 2 tweetes, 4 midbass and 1 double Subwoofer in the trunk, connected to 3 amplifiers 4x100W. We agreed with the previous owner to leave me 1 amp, 4 midbass and 2 tweeters. And he removed the subwoofer + 2 amps.
So now I have left in the car:
4x Kicker SSMB8 - 40-175W, freq 30-500Hz (isnt it that strange freq?), sens 89 dB
2x Kicker tweeters but I dont see the exact model, they look like Kicker 44KST2504 but the log is not in the center of the grill but almost on the edge of it.
1x Alpine PDX-4.100 - manual

I have a couple filters/crossovers which cross at 3400 Hz

So how can I best connect them? I see two options:
1. Connect the tweeter+midbass+filter two the front channel of the amp and just a midbass to the rear
2. Connect 2x midbass in parallel to the rear channel and just tweetes to the front channels using the amp integrated crossover but it can be set to cut in maximum at 400 Hz, isnt that low for a tweeter?

Also is this amp good enough to handle any of the two options? I'm not experienced in the car audio so please help ? :)
 
Run there rear kids off channel 3 and 4.

Run the front woofers and front tweeters off channels 1 and 2. Actually you'll run the crossovers off channels 1 and 2, and from the crossovers you go to tweeters and woofers separately. The crossovers will split the signals to the woofers and the tweeters.
 
Hi again, so now I sold the front door speakers Kicker SSMB8 which are actually more woofers than normal speaker. So right now I have 2x tweeters Kicker KS25 in the front pillars and i think they are missing the original filters. And 2x Kicker SSMB8 in the back doors.

Can you guys help me choose the right speakers to buy?
I can buy here Hertz and Audison speakers.

My first option is to by Audison AP8(8") - https://www.audison.eu/products/ap-8/ and put them in the front doors and run them with the current tweeters. I've bought some filters and i can either run the filters only for the tweeters or use the filter(3400hrz cross) to split the the signal to the AP8 and the kicker ks25 but that way i will have a gap between 3000hrz and 3400hrz as the AP 8 is 35 ÷ 3k Hz...

My second option is to sell the tweeters I have and buy a component 6.5" system like these ones:
- Audison APK 165 - https://www.audison.eu/products/apk-165/
- Hertz Centop CK 165 - https://www.hertzaudiovideo.com/car-audio-systems-energy-eskf165_5/
- Hertz ESK F165.5 - https://www.hertzaudiovideo.com/ck-165/
- MAC AUDIO STAR FLAT 2.16 - https://www.mac-audio.de/en/detail/index/sArticle/2980965

What would you advise me to buy?
