[QUOTE="AlpineRollaSR5, post: 42676, member: 543785"] To explain my whole situation here is a brief summary: I had an Alpine CD Deck with 45 watts/channel and four (4) Eclipse speakers installed in my 1990 Ford Escort. The speakers were 5" circular in the front and 5" X 7" oval in the back. I crashed this car and got the stereo taken out. A few months down the line... I now own a 1990 Toyota Corolla SR5 (La Toya) and the speakers will not fit (i haven't tried, i know that they won't) The measurements for the speakers of this car are as follows: 4" circular in the front and 5.25" circular in the back. The front eclipse speakers of the escort that were 5" will fit the corolla, and I am going to purchase new front eclipse speakers that are 4"... ********Here is the weird part that I am devising... I will have the 5" X 7" 's left over from the escort's rear. I want to make a box and put them in the rear of the new car in addition to the four speakers so that I have a 6 speaker stereo. ********HOWEVER, i am worried about a wattage problem. I would probably have to connect the rear channel to the two additional speakers (in the box) in addition to the 5" that i will already have there. Will 45 Watts divided by two deliver enough power amplification to the speakers or will they distort?? I guess the real question is... will 45 Watts power a 5X7" speaker and a 5" circular speaker together on the same channel? Please email me or respond to this or both with questions and comments and answers. Thanks in advance for your time : ) If you have suggestions on alternative setups feel free to interject them!
