I believe my aftermarket rear deck speakers (Pioneer 3 way 6x9's) fizzled the rear channel on the stock amp. I have a pioneer Fh-X820BT head unit. I know the amp receives four channels and divides it up among the seven speakers. So I see a couple options

First, I could get a two channel amp to replace what fizzled and run the rear deck speakers through it. But I am not sure what would happen to the sub if I do that. and there would have to be some fancy fader work to make it sound right.

Second, I could get a four channel amp to run both the rear deck speakers and the sub.

Third, an amp delete might be ok if the HU will power the sub enough, but I am not sure and I think it will still need an amp.

Lastly and probably the best sounding option is to get a good crossover and two 4 channel amps to run everything correctly. Christmas is soon and I would rather spend dough on the kids than fancying up my car stereo.

Thoughts?

 

Kenwood xr900-5 I have one and it works great.

 

So with that five channel set up how did you amp the tweeters?

 

I have the 165 FX focal 6.5" components so I have a crossover wasn't thinking about you having the stock speakers. I'm not sure of the power ratings of the stock tweets, maybe emperorjj might know.
