The 3-ways will have a crossover to split the frequencies. They only require a single input.

it will if there higher watted but the speakers is onli the beginning in my plan  :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Oh dear.  :confused:

If you haven't added any more voltage or increased the amount of current drawn how will the power increase? :confused: :confused:

What you can do is buy more sensitive speakers. This means the actual cone moves more for a given input but you can't invent power. :scared:

Phew... i thought i was going mad!  :signLOL:

Do the Hertz fit in without hacking bits off etc? I presume you get both left and right when you buy those?

Yes I agree it will 'sound' better but you intimated that because the speakers were "higher watted" that they would give more power.

Sadly not.  :popcornsoda:

so a 4channel amp will do my front and rear components?

I have the HSK163 setup in the front. The RNS510 limits some output to "protect" the stock speakers as they're so crap. Swapping them has made a vast difference but this is mainly in clarity and allowing me to increase the volume/bass without distortion as used to happen with the stock setup.

Next step is definitely an amplifier.

This thread has been good for me also, I am now going to buy a set of the 3 way component speakers in the original post and try to build myself one of the fitted sub boxes for the boot, both running off a 4 way amp (bridged for the sub in the boot).

Anyone got a link to a guide for removing the door cards at all?
