Well, two weeks into the car I already blow the Premium Stock speakers.

I know the front two speakers are 6.5" and the back two are 6x9. The front middle is 3.5 but what is the depth on those. I am wanting to get a polk 3.5 in the front, and get Alpine Type R 6.5" with components.

The question is, could I simply disconnect the stock components, and put the Alpines in their place. And how deep is the Front center speaker able to be?

Since they are already blown, why not remove them and check with a ruler?

I dont advise it. The OEM speakers are 2ohm. Your Infinitys are most likely 4ohm. You would not damage anything by using them but the power output of the stock amp would be cut in half and its already weak as shit. You'll want an aftermarket amp if you end up using aftermarket speakers, in my opinion.

Haha, its the Infinity Set that premium speaker haha, premiums that blow!

Well, the after market amp I have my eyes on is about $300 so could I use the Infinity amp right now with those aftermarkets? I just want to use speakers that work until I can purchase a new amp.

FYI: The middle one blew first, then the rear two.

Just leave the center channel disconnected. The OEM Infinity amp also has the crossovers for the front components built in to it, so when connect different speakers, the crossover points will be all off. Which means they will sound like crap. What 4-channel are you looking at? $300 is really not bad if it is decent.

Alpine PDX-4.100

Since my speakers are going to all be alpine except the center which alpine doesn't make or I just cant find it.

It also provides 100W to each channel which I like. What do you think. Its on Techronics and a few other sites for like 293. Which isn't bad. I would buy it if I could do 6 mo no interest.

Very nice amp! Especially at that price. Like I said, leave the center channel out. It completely screws with the sound stage.

Also be weary of sites like Techronics, as they are not authorized dealers, which means you have no Manufacturer's warranty if something happens.

What sites are authorized. Because I have blown two subs, that I purchased from Best Buy.

Almost no websites are authorized dealers. I think only Crutchfield. What subs are they? When did you purchase them? Usually manufacturers will not cover blown subs because subs only blow if they are abused, improperly installed, or improperly amplified.
