im thinking about maybe puting 6.5s or 6x9s in my dash and i already have 6.5 in my door and 6x9 in the rear and i was wounder dose a 4 channel amp mean it will only power 4 speakers or would i need a 4 channel and a 2 channel amp to power all the speakers.

erm 6.5" in your dash? you mean your doors? the tweeters in the dash can be replaced w/ 3.5" speakers (but a bass blocker on them)

and youn only need a 4-channel amp to power the speakers, the speakers in the dash are tied into the front speakers.

a 4-channel amp means that it accepts 4 diff audio channels (FL, FR, RL, RR) a 2-channel accepts 2 audio channels (FF, FR or RL, RR)

hope that helps out some

i know there tweeters in the dash but i was thinking about mounting 6.5s up there and another set in my rear doors. so if i did that i would need 2 4 channel amps.

your going to have a hard time mounting 6.5" speakers up there, theres really no room

and no, you would still only need 1, 4-channel amp

really so i only need 1 4 channel amp, to power the 6-6.5s and the 2-6x9s? thoughs 8 speakers can all be put on to 1 4 channel amp?

ah, ok gotcha now you would need 1, 4-channel amp and 1, 2-channel amp

the tweeters will run thru the front speaker wires

speedyrb29 · Post by **speedyrb29** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 8:00 pm

so whatever speakers i put up on the dash run into the 1s in the door? so the dash speakers and front door speakers are like 1 set?

Why power the rears? Run them off the deck for rear fill...

speedyrb29 · Post by **speedyrb29** » Fri Apr 14, 2006 1:22 pm

He means that in a good sounding car you won't really hear the back speakers..they are more just there to fill the car while most of the sound comes from the components up front.

this is true, although, with the stock speakers in the back, u can really tell a difference if u have aftermarkets in the front, trust me i know that first hand lol, and someone please inform me on where u can buy bass blockers for m 3.5's lol
