Depending on the deck and amps you have you could do a active X-over set up and not use the X overs, then you wont have any problems, they then become just speakers. I'm use what started as a comp set, but pulled the X overs out and am using my deck for the X over.

There's an even better idea in going active, but you'll need to upgrade add an active crossover. Those Diamonds would sing with separate amp channels drivin' em!

Thats the thing if he needs a deck he can get one with a built in 3 way active, i have a Alpine 9887 with one and it works great, but you'd have to get the new model, which i've heard is not as nice...

I have been trying to get the 9887 but everyones out of stock! Will the 117 work?

I was gonna get the new alpine 117 cause i can run my system active, therefore not needing the crossovers for the 6.5s and the 4,s.

I have a 4 channel Memphis amp so your saying run the 6.5 and the 4inch with that amp? Run the tweeters from the deck and cross all them with the deck?

its this amp:
16-MA3004 - Memphis 75 x 4 Class AB Full Range Marine Amplifier

And this amp for my subs:
16-MAD1000 - Memphis 1100 x 1 Class D Marine Subwoofer Amplifier

heres the 6.5 add ons:
S6.0MX3 - Diamond Audio 6" 3 Way Upgrade System

heres the 4inch set:
DIAMOND AUDIO HEX S400A NEW PRO 4" COMPONENT SPEAKERS on eBay!

So put the 4inch in the dash, 6.5 in the doors and find a spot for the tweets and don't use any of the crossovers, use the one with the 117 deck?

What you would do is leave the 4's out, use the amp to run the 6.5 and the tweets, and then your sub amp stays as the sub amp. your deck with do all the Xing over.

I don't use the 4inch? Don't I need those to get a full sound? Like someone said 4inch in the dash 6.5 inch the doors and tweets in the pillers?

Sounds like it might just be easier to get the polk sr5250,s and run that set. The 6.5 are discontinued now.I can sell the diamond 4inch and 6.5 inch, use that money to get the polks.then the amp can run the tweeters and the mids and the system should be full.

It would be no different then haveing a 6.5" set to begin with, the set up you have just has different X overs, which you wouldn't be using.

So I could use the diamond 6.5 and they would be like using the polk 6.5,s? The polks are 2 way i thought the diamonds weren't.
