[QUOTE="dwynne, post: 3128190, member: 578175"] Take the money you were going to spend on extra amp channels for the rear and for the rear speakers and buy better stuff for the front [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] . The Kicker KX3 or the Clarion MCD360 would work, but those are just fairly inexpensive ones they sell at online stores - there are tons more. You would run line outs from the head unit to a 3-way x-over, then run your sub amp off of the x-over and have 4 RCAs coming off that would go to a 4 channel amp. Those would be left tweet, right tweet, left mid, right mid. You would wire the outputs of the 4 channel amp directly to the tweets and mids without using the passive crossover supplied with the component speakers. Some of the passive crossovers have a tweeter current protector that you would lose if you don't use their x-over, so you would need to set the levels on the tweet channels so you did not over-drive them - or use some type of "fuse" to limit the current. You could also run the sub off the headunit (since it has a sub out) and use a 2 way x-over to drive the 4 channels. Dennis [/QUOTE]
