[QUOTE="hurrdurrhumlesnurr, post: 8688705, member: 678428"] Hey guys, I'm thinking about doing some upgrades to my speaker system in my car. Audi A4 1997 Sedan. Currently there is 2x4" 50w RMS 4 ohm from Ground Zero, GZIF4001FX, hooked to my HU, Pioneer AVH-A3100DAB. Probably obvious to most of you they're not actually even noticeable to anyone that they're even there. In the rear doors there are 2x5.25" 60w RMS and 4ohm Ground Zero speakers, GZIF5201FX, and in the rear shelf 2x6.5" 80w RMS 4ohm Ground zero, GZIF65X speakers. Both pairs in the rear are hooked up to a JVC KS-AX6500 4 channel amp. [URL]https://www.cnet.com/products/jvc-ks-ax6500-car-amplifier/[/URL] The rears worked, for a while, then the outer foam separated on the 6.5" speakers, haven't checked the rest. So I want something else. I'm thinking of going to 5.25" in the front doors and 6.5" in both the rear doors and the shelf. And I have my eyes on some Swedish speakers probably unheard of to most of you. The 6.5" are two way component with 1" discant sets 4ohm resistance and 125w RMS of a brand called GAS. And the 5.25 are again a pair of GAS two way component speakers with separate discants, 4ohms and 100w RMS, sensitivity at 92 and 91Db in the same order. Kind of thinking about reusing my JVC amp since it's in perfect working condition, bridge the four channels into two and connecting all six speakers in a series-parallel configuration to keep the 4ohm load(?) and spread the roughly 140w x2 RMS coming out of it into three speakers to get the most of it out of it?
