[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8665785, member: 676005"] Hey mate, Thanks for raising your issue here. Even with an external amplifier to run your aftermarket speakers, you will not get too much from a 4 inch speaker but it will be noticeable louder but not much bass given the woofer size. Another option is to buy those fibre glass angled door pods and install 6.5 inch component speakers but in order to get much better mid-bass in the front, you will need to invest more money into sound deadening the front doors. It is relatively easy to do but if you wish to take that approach, there is plenty of how to videos on the web. Nevertheless, don't let my decision stop you from attempting the external amplifier to your speakers. It will certainly be much cleaner sounding as a small amp such as a 50rms x 2 will make a better sound and give your speakers more headroom to play louder, however the bass will always be lacking so if you are willing to install an amplifier, I would suggest the following" [LIST][*]Get a 4 channel amplifier and buy a relevant power wiring kit to go with the install; [*]Get a 4 channel amplifier with separate flat/ high/ low variable crossover settings; [*]Get a single 10 or 12 inch subwoofer in a sealed box and with the whole system wired up, you should definitely be happy with the end result. [/LIST] I have attached a pic of a 4 channel amp with crossover settings so you can cross your front speakers at 100hz and your subwoofer will produce frequencies below 100hz. By applying high pass filter to your front speakers will make them sound more louder and accurate when the volume is turned up. Good luck and let us know how you go mate!
