i got my Infinity 6412cfp for $48 shipped from www.onlinecarstereo.com

they are a 4x6 plate with a 3" driver and a 1" tweeter. they take a little modification (more like, the speaker grill needs mods) to fit on the drivers side but not much.

You should always co with a component set over a coaxial if you have the ability. The signal seperation allows for better clarity and response. Also, the way sound waves roll off any cone shaped other than a circle, it just doesnt sound like it should. So 4x6's, 6x9's 5x7's, IMO should all be replaced with round coaxials or components. All it takes is some slight modifications and the results ar far better than direct swaps...So my advice would be the component plate, or 6.5 midbass in the door with a tweeter in the dash...

I wouldnt do just tweeters. Either do a 4x6 plate with the 3" mid and tweeter. Or, Get a 6.5" component set and put the midbass in the front door and the tweeter in the dash...


For the 10W0's...IIRC they are 125wrms each, so you will need an amp that does ~250wrms. What is the coil config on the subs?

Boss wouldnt be my first choice. And I dont understand how you are hooking up an amp without knowing ohm loads. That can be concidered a little carless imo...Also, 1400w is the MAX power on that boss amp. look at the RMS number, that should be the only thing your concerned with...Get me the coil confics and the model# of the amp you have...
