I need to know from the Xb/Xa crew that run a 3.5 inch speaker in their dash and a 6.5 in the door (coaxial) not components. How did you amp them since the 6.5's take way more RMS power than the 3.5's do. I bought a set of MA Audio 6.5's and 3.5's and for the rear and set of 5.25 from same company. The 6.5's rms is 100watts and the 3.5's rms is 40watts. the 5.25 rms is 80 watts. I got a phoniex digital amp 100x4 rms with super clean signal. ANY HELP IS GREAT THANKS.


Also the depth of them are
6.5 = 2.75 inches
3.5 = 2.00 inches
5.25 = 2.50 inches

Will any of those depths be a problem?

 

Maybe just run the 3.5"'s off your headunit, and use the amp to power the door speakers. That's what I'd do.

 

ditto.

 

Yup. Sounds like a plan.

 

i would just tap the dash ones into the door ones. my amp is big enough to handle it

 

if you do this you'll be running both front parallel, which means you can't adjust the volume independently. probably not the best idea.

 

not to jack the thread but how do you like the ma 6.5's? I'm thinking about getting the y series components for my tc and wondered about them. I've had ma subs and loved them but never heard the mid ranges from them.

 

then again, you might run them in series, but overall, same problem of independent volume control. you could run the 3.5s off the head and then jack with the gain control until you get the right mix so as to not have one thing overpowering another. you might even try an equalizer.
