question on amping car speakers

[tairy hesticles 10+ year member]

I am pretty new to car audio and I will soon be putting two 12" hifonics brutus sub woofers in the car and wanted to know if I can amp my 6x9 deck speakers as well as wiring an amp to my sub woofers with two separate amps. Maybe even getting two more 6x9 speakers and wiring four of them to one amp.

so hope I didn't make it too complicated. Thanks

Are those 6x9s your fronts or rears?

they're rear deck speakers

So you are trying to have 4 6x9s in the rear amplified?

Front stage is more important, rear stage gets muffled by the subwoofers competeing with the speakers. If they are stock speakers no need to amplify them except maybe for the benefit of a crossover, but stock speakers cannot take very much power. I'd suggest looking closer into upgrading you front speakers to a nice 6.5 component set and amplify them.

I actually just got some new alpine front speakers the other day and I got some old school kicker impulse 6x9s for 15 bucks from a guy and if I were to put four 6x9 speakers in the car I was going to build my own boxes and stuff them underneath the seats or pretty much wherever I could that would make them sound better then being in the back but two of them would still be on the rear deck I just wanted to know if it were possible and if I were to get four I would definitely throw in some money for decent speakers. all of the stock speakers were complete junk they needed out bad paper cones the surround one each speaker was gone and they just sounded terrible.
