[QUOTE="Laserface, post: 8721384, member: 625328"] So in my scenario: I would be running coax speakers in place of the factory components. A major simplification of the system that wouldn't require crossovers, right? I realize this would be inferior sound quality, but I'm just checking my options for now. I just tore into the car enough enough to understand its system. It has 12 individual speakers, split into 4 sets of 3. Each set is a 5", 3", and 1". In the fronts, the 5" is in the kick panel, the 3" and 1" in the door. In the rear, they're all together in a box under the parcel shelf behind a single speaker grille. To replicate the factory setup, I'd need a 8 channels? One for each 5", and then one for each set of 3" and 1"? What if I wanted to add something like a 8" subwoofer? Where would that get it's input? I'm confused on what exactly each speaker does. High, mid, low? I see 2.75" inch speaker being sold as midrange speakers, which I assume if the purpose of the factory 3". A component set with crossover, 5.25" woofer, and tweeter plus the 2.75" midrange would be identical in function to the factory setup? In this case, the crossover controlling the woofer and tweeter would act as one channel, and the midrange as another channel for 2 channels at each corner x4 is 8. That's accomplished with two 4 channel amps. In this case, how would I power the aforementioned 8"subwoofer? With the sub out on the head unit into an additional 2 channel amp? A 6 channel and a 4 channel? Run the rear speakers off of the head unit to free up 2 channels on one of the 4 channels for the sub? The DSP doesn't act directly as a crossover correct? I'd still need to run the crossovers that came with the component set of speakers? The DSP is just helping more create the correct input on more channels, and offering fine tuning of the sound? After actually seeing the the 12 component factory setup, I'm much more inclined to attempt to recreate that with modern equipment, rather than attempt to cheap out. Thanks for you input so far.
