any way you connect the 6.5's with the subs wired the way they are will most likely result in damage / shutoff of the amp. I am guessing that you are running 2 svc subs to an amp capable of 2 ohm mono, or 2 dvc subs to an amp capable of 4 ohm mono. The only way you could attach the 6.5's too is to either re-wire the subs in series, or if your amp is capable of a lower ohm load bridged (1 ohm bridged is very uncommon, 2 ohm bridged is fairly uncommon). Odds are if you re-wire to include the 6.5's they will most likely be either too loud, or too soft to match the sub. The best way would be to add annother 2 ch amp, or swap the 2 ch out for a 4 channel.

Does anyone know how to take the face plate off a Pioneer DEH-P5800MP In-Dash, so it can be removed from car?


If you are hell bent on including the 6.5's, you can probably do it if you wire your subs in series, and the 6.5's in series and then wire the subs and speakers in parallel. (you will now have mono). If your amp is capable of tri-mode, you can wire your subs in series and then put the two 6.5's on left and right. Make sure your amp is capable of tri-mode before you try this. Wiring the subs in series will reduce the amount of power they see. IE. if they get 500 watts now, they will only get 250 afterwards, cutting your peak output by about 3db. You could use passive attenuation circuits on the 6.5's if tey are too loud to match the subs.

Is there any way to hook up a CD changer to an 1997 Audi A6 with a factory Bose stereo?


The only other wiring option if you have a 2 ohm stable (4 ohm mono) amp is to wire one sub to one 6.5 in parallel, and then wire them to the amp in stereo mode. Do not bridge like that or you will cook the amp.

Cerwin Vega Stroker 10's or JL Audio 12's?

no! you'll blow them. too much power going to them, and only low freq's going to them. get a seperate amp for them. thats i is the easiest way to go. and make sure its not a sub amp.
