C6 Door Speakers
A quick question...
I've installed a pair of subwoofers in the rear, which are powered by their own amp, and I've replaced the 3.5" door speakers with new ones. Now I'm to the subs in the door, and I'm wondering if it would be possible to mount my 5.25" speakers where the subs should be (after making an adapter plate, of course) on the stock wiring and just forget about the ones behind the seats.
A couple more details if it helps: 1LT, no bose, no onstar, Alpine head unit, stock amp.
Thanks.

Paranoia check - where did you get the signal to feed the subs? If you tapped off the rear speakers and used a LOC then you're not getting the frequencies you need. Get the signal from your Alpine instead.

Yeah, that's what I was wanting to know is whether there was a crossover that's only going to give low-range signals to the speakers.
The reason I'd bother with all of this is that I'm hardly getting any midrange in the car right now (with the stock delco 5.25's in the rear) and it would seem that it would be related to their placement (like if I fold the passenger seat down, I get better sound from that side).
The subs are wired directly to the head unit.
