[QUOTE="jcraft, post: 7998250, member: 645700"] Hi all, Putting together a budget system in my PT cruiser. Here is what I have done so far. I installed two new 3 way Kenwood 6.5" in the doors and used dynamat as well. I have install Polk 5x7 three ways in the rear panels. These will all be fed ( installing this weekend) by a Rockford Fosgate 300-4 ( 50x4). I also have a JVC 200 watt bridged amp feeding a 12" sub in the back. I have been running everything for a year or so like this except for the RF amp I just got and am going to install. Couple things, first regarding speakers. There are small factory tweeters mounted in the top of the dash, one on each side. I am wondering from a sound quality standpoint if I should keep these tweeters active or if it would sound better overall to eliminate being I have 3 ways in the door. I also don't want to blow them. It will take a bit of work to disconnect to try so I was wondering if anyone out there has done this to try and improve sound quality. Second, not related to speakers is I have the stock alternator which is 130 amps. With this power output do you think the stock will work. Working the numbers it seems the entire system will only draw about 50 amps. And also would the big 3 help for this small of a setup. Thanks [/QUOTE]
