    You can definitely make it work with what you have. You may decide you want more flexibility later on, though.

    Yes, then you would also benefit from losing dash coax's and rear door speakers.(tweets moved to dash locations might be a good alternative)

    Do you want the blue pill or the red pill?

    So add more tweeters and put them in the the place of my dash speakers and totally do away with rear door speakers?

    IF you have active crossovers, you can dedicate 1 amp channel to each mid and each of your current tweets (relocated to dash). This will allow you to set individual speaker levels and time align the system.

    Or you could keep the coax in the dash, and use the 6.5's from the comp set as a midbass....and ditch the rear speakers. That's going be a recurring theme.

    I think I'm more of a red pill type so WHEN I ditch the rear speakers I should probably change the 6.5 component s which are only 100w RMS to match the 4 channel amp which is 150w. That is if I can find a 150w RMS that can fit in my door. The tweeter that came with the component set is a inch above the component in the door and I'm sure should be somewhere else. The dash speakers are probably kinda useless being they not being powered by the amp.

    That amp doesn't do 150rms...It's rated at 113 and I'm betting it don't even hit that. As long as it's clean power (no distortion), the polk mids should be fine.
