Just to clarify, 8 speakers, 6 speakers, or 1,000,000 speakers, it all boils down to being driven off of a 4 channel amplifier in the deck. Separates in the front consist of a midbass driver and a tweeter, the same way a 6.5" 2 way speaker does, same with the x9's in the back. Without aftermarket amplifiers that are made to support more channels, you have FOUR speakers. i.e. if I take out the 4 midbass driver and leave the 4 tweeters, I am not left with a 4 speaker system.
