6 Channel Amp, Right?
 
Anyone have this setup? My 99 Boxster already has an aftermarket Sony Drive-5 stereo. Looks like someone pulled the old factory head unit and basically is powering the door and dash speakers with the (52watt X 4) Sony head unit. The amp is doing nothing.

Here's my thought...

Replace the door and dash speakers with high quality units...

Add 4-3 1/2 speakers in the rear storage compartment

Power the whole shee bang with a 6 channel Hot Rod amplifier...

No Subs....just getting bass from the upgraded door speakers. I just want a nice full range system. Thoughts?

Were you thinking of converting from 5-1/4 to 6-1/2 drivers for the doors? If so, then I think it'll probably sound pretty good when you're done.

I just installed an Alpine PDX-4.100 amplifier, hooked to the 4 stock speakers and it alone made for a great improvement in sound. I can't wait to get the new 6.5" speakers installed!

Should work fine and sound great!
