[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8574821, member: 665412"] the speakers you're talking about splicing together are not the same size, so no you cant do that. i would ditch the rear speakers and get a ppi900.4 for doors and dash speakers. do some research on active vs passive components to understand how you need things to be set up properly. you cant just splice stuff together, different speakers need different filters. [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/passxovr.htm"]Passive Crossovers[/URL] [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/elxovsp2.htm"]Advantages of Electronic Crossovers vs Passive Crossovers[/URL] from there id still recommend a new headunit, and new door speakers able to handle the power. passive components are fine in the door, but you need to find out how its set up. is there only a midrange in the door? or is there a tweeter too? is the 3.5 in the dash just an added channel for better sound quality, or is it acting as your tweeter? if the latter is true just run active off a ppi900.4, or just keep tweeters on the headunit and have the 6.75 and 3.5s off the ppi. keep in mind a ppi900.4 has A LOT of power for midranges. keep the gain low for small drivers [/QUOTE]
