Relatively new to car audio and would greatly appreciate any help/advice with the following:

I have the following in a 97 Saab 900 Conv.
Alpine CDA-9883 HU
JL TR650 - CXi (rears)
JL TR350 - CXi (dash)

I am thinking about adding a pair of TR650s in the doors and a 4 channel amp. How would I (or should I) use the new door speakers with the existing 3.5 inch dash speakers?

Any suggestions on a amp in the $200-$300 raneg would also be appreciated.

You could get a 5 channel amp or one 4 channel amp and 2 channel amp and bridge one of the channels to run the dash speakers, but i dunno what sort of wattage they can handle. I would either look for a 5 channel or a 3 and a 2 channel one. Hope that helps somewhat. I don't know many 3 or 5 channel amps offhand, but I see you like JL stuff and I know JL makes at least one. It may be a little above your budget, but you could probably pick up a used one or another company's one. Hope that helps.

Thanks John. Would there be any value in a 6 channel amp like the JL A6450.

I could run each speaker off its own channel and then use the small dash speakers for the highs by setting the filter freq????

Does this make any sense?
