quite true---i kinda worded my reply wrong, as long as you use the pre-outs on the back of the headunit and not a line-out converter you should be fine. Also, you may wanna look at the tweeter issue--you really need to cross it over to play high-freq signals instead of the full range signal.

 

it isnt your speakers, it does sound like its the internal amp, id shop around for how much that would cost instead of going with external amp and all that junk.

 

most shops around here would prolly charge around 50 just to look at it.[>:]

i'm starting to like the external amp idea. could i hook up all six factory speakers to an external amp? would i still be able to run subs?

thanks.

 

Yes, you can hook up all 8 of your factory speakers. You have two pairs of 6x8s and two pairs of tweeters, so yes, there are eight. The only problem though is that you would have to rewire all of your speakers to be coming from out of the amp. You would use rca cables to connect from the preamps of your headunit to the preamps on your amp. Then wire your speakers from your amp. I don't think I have ever seen an 8 channel amp so you would have to get two 4 channel amps. I'm not sure on the specs for the factory speakers though so I can't suggest how much rms you want to support. Its probably no more than 50.

 

sounds good. i gonna go over all the wires one more time and see if i can get it to work again. if not i guess its time for a set of amps...

 

Aight, g'luck, let me know if you need some help.

 

if your going with external amps you should look into 1 5-channel amp and 1 4 channel. a 5-channel has an extra channel for subwoofer output and 4 channels for surround.

 

id just bypast the amps and put a 4 channel amp for ur speakers in the trunk or mounted on the back of the back seat...
