Wiring amps, have ?'s about front speakers
Ok so my 99 venge had the factory stereo when i got it a few weeks ago, I have installed a new Kenwood headunit with proper plug in harness. Now it gets more involved, I have a 4ch MTX amp that I want to hook up as well as well as a mono amp for my subs. The wiring isnt really the issue, I will probably run new wiring to all speakers and will be putting in a set of Soundstream 6x9's in the back provided the rears are 6x9 as I havent looked just assumed....
The issue I have at the moment is the front doors and dash, I dont believe I have the infinity system but do have both sets of front speakers. How are they wired, do they have a cross over like a component set and run at 4 ohm load or will I be running them at a 2 ohm load by rewiring them?
I only ask as I dont have any component sets right now so im hoping they will take the 50x4 @ 4ohms rms the amp puts out. It is 2 ohm stable at 100x4 but not sure the stock fronts will hold that.
I do have a set of tweeters and a couple sets of 2 way speakers (5.25" & 6.5") but no crossovers.
Hopefully I didnt confuse everyone with my rambling but any info on how they are wired from factory as well as opinions on which route to go are welcome.
Also how your systems sound and what equipment your running.
Other question I forgot is what amperage is the stock alternator on a 99 2.5L venge, and will it hold up to a decent 4ch and a 800-1000w rms mono amp?
I have Alpine 800w rms @ 2ohms and a Planet audio 1000w rms @ 1 ohm (750 @ 2ohm) For now with my current subs I'll be running at 2 ohms.
Hope this covers it all.

It varies from car to car the front doors were 6 ohm in some cars and tweeters were 4 ohms so they were slightly under 4 ohms
stockers will never hold the 100 watts
The tweeters are easily replaced with Bose 301/601/901 Tweeters from ebay I've been buying them from soundtastic $9.99 a pair they can be removed thru the top gently pry up on the grill and remove the speaker
be sure to remove the bassblocker and reinstall , or purchase a new one to protect the tweeters

Would the stock tweeter with bass blocker still there hold the watts if I was to replace the mid in the door?
Another option is just using a 2way in the door and not connecting the dash tweeter, would I lose sound quality or volume this way?

Is the bass blocker attached at the tweeter or is it farther down the wiring somewhere?

likely the stockers will blow easily since they have had sun ect but the bose replacements will hold fine
