Hello everyone. Thanks for reading my first post.
Bit about myself: Used to be professional installer about 20 years ago, haven't done anything since. Back then, did quite well at both SQ and DB competitions.
I recently bought a 2007 Nissan Armada that makes my ears cry. It originally had the lesser of the two factory systems. The previous owner installed a Kenwood ddx376bt head unit, a pretty nice sub and amp, and the wiring was done pretty well, but the rest of the speakers are still factory. I bought it without sub or amp, but head unit and wiring is intact. So I am in the market for sub, amp(s), mids, tweets, or passive components, and on a tight budget. The head does have DSP, but I don't know how good it is.
The obstacles are 1: the factory system has 6x9s in front door, 2.5" in front dash, 6.5 in rear door, 1" in upper rear door. I am fairly certain the tweeters and mids, front and back respectively, are wired together parallel. 2: My family goes on many road trips and the kids like to watch movies in the back, at which time I usually fade the sound to the back (so I can't really go without rear speakers).
I initially was looking into active mids and tweets, off 4 channel amp, in factory locations up front, and rear speakers just off head unit. This seems trickier than I expected. I don't think there is a way to separate the front and rear channels and have active two way fronts.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
