[QUOTE="The_Dealer, post: 8461468, member: 661313"] Kicker and high sound quality doesn't belong in the same sentence. You mentioned 8ohm, but that's irrelevant if you're replacing the amp(s) AND speakers. You mentioned the mach 460, the stock Hu runs the front and the rear tweeters and a pair of amps run the rest. You can hook it up like that or run everything off the Kenwood amp, which is what I'd do personally. Hate you be the bearer of bad news but your Sony Hu isn't putting out 175w, you'd be lucky to get 15w. So if I follow correctly you want to run 2 pairs of 2way coaxial speakers and a pair of tweeters and run the Kenwood amp instead of the mach? I'd run new wire from the Kenwood amp to the 6x8's and new wire to the tweeters. Just secure the factory speaker wire/connectors out of the way. Leave the mach tweeters like they are, and just let the Hu run them. The mach amps will still work for the stock "subs" and you won't create unnecessary work for yourself. IMO, I'd replace the speakers and see how it sounds before adding the extra pair of tweeters. Even entry level coaxials will be a big improvement over the mach speakers. I feel that adding more tweeters to amped coaxials would be a little harsh and overpower the mid and sub frequencies Sent from my G870a on 38's [/QUOTE]
