[QUOTE="maylar, post: 970105, member: 541144"] You're gonna have a problem with the fronts. Assuming this is an aftermarket HU, it won't like 2 sets of speakers in parallel (2 ohms) and putting them in series (8 ohms) would be weak. Ideal solution is a small 2 channel amp for the 5.25's. 40-50 watts each channel will run just about anything. This configuration gives you the best options for future upgrades and gives your main front speakers some "priority". Option 2 is lose the 3.5's. They don't add all that much anyway. Mine keep burning out :p [/QUOTE]
