I was wondering... i believe my GT has the 6 speaker setup, and I wanted to know if keeping the factory amp would be a better option than using my headunit as my amp. This is because my headunit powers 50wattsx4channels, but i dont know if thats ok for the tweeters as well. Isnt the stock amp designed to take the 6 speaker setup however? does anyone have any opinion of what might sound better... using my headunit to power all the speakers or using the stock amp to? Thanks guys!

Thanks guys! your head unit does 50x4 peak so take 50(.707) and you get RMS and the factory amp will do better than that. how ever their is a kit you can buy/make to run a after market head unit with the factory amp. but if your looking for a nice clean soundning set up and dont want to the factory amp jsut buy a nice after maket one and run your tweaters in with your 6.6 or 4's not sure what comes in the 6 speaker set up i think its a 4.25 but i might be wrong but ya run them with the tweaters and buy a cross over so you dont but mid bass in into your tweaters lol thats not good.. then run your eights in the door off of the same amp assuming you bought a 4 channel and you will have nice mid base but again i would ru na cross over on the eights to keep your highs from playing out of them and run the rear 6in speakers of of the rear channel of the head unit....but thats a lot of time and money so maybe your better off doing it your way lol cant say i didnt give my input good luck This post has been edited by addictions: Apr 18, 2008 - 8:49 AM -------------------- -Boss III
