[QUOTE="Boomin_tahoe, post: 8661738, member: 562180"] I have done something similar. Find that factory amp, remove the harnness from it and remove/cut the necessary wires needed to run those speakers to the amp. I would highly suggest an aftermarket amp since those factory amps isn't so great. As for the x-overs using them, I would use them since your wanting to direct certain freq to each speaker, mids/tweets....this will yield a cleaner sound once tuned properly. Lastly, you wanna tune your amp with a DMM to "max" setting on the gain to "control" the watts your amp produces to the speakers. Your basically "limiting" the amps watts to your speakers, so long as it's a clean signal. 12.24 is the magic number to use for the DMM to look for. It doesn't have to be spot on but get as close as you can. Once this is achieved, should be able to crank it up all day/night w/o any issues. [/QUOTE]
