I have a few questions hope you can help me with... 1) should I disable the factory tweeters since the Bostons have 3/4 tweeters on them? 2) the Boston speakers seem to require more power (have to turn the volume to a higher number) than the factory ones did, they do get very loud though with very little distortion) Boston recommends 12-140 watts, so I guess im at the low end of the spectrum here? 3) should I leave/replace the rear (4"?) speakers with some better ones, or should I remove them all together and bridge? the stereo to the front speakers so they have more power? 4) the Bostons have some rattle/distortion at certain low bass levels they are rated at 58-20kHz with a 4ohms impendence, so I need to get a filter for the lower bass? the bass they can handle has a very nice "punch" to it. not looking for a TON of bass, will probably add a small sub/amp in the rear for a little more punch, im more interested in a clean sound right now. thanks for any suggestions [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] Mike [/QUOTE]
