Adding speakers to amp. Help I am deciding on adding speakers to my existing sub. I bought the car and it has 2 jl 10' subs and poineer speakers. I want to add seakers to the front but dont know how. Ive only seen the amp about twice all i know that its a sony and it has like 2 little meters and alot of little *****.I would like to know if anybody knows what to do like do i have to just buy speaker wire and the route it to the front and add the speakers. Also if I want to add tweeters would the amp say something like tweeters to where i connect it.
I am preety much a newbie to this stuff so i would like to learn everything i can.
Thanks for your help!

You need to find the model of the amp because you will need to know how many channels it has. There is also the problem of figuring out where the amp is getting sound from. Meaning, what is it connected to.
Do you have a stock Monsoon headunit?

The amp says 5/3 channels, MOSFET and some other leters but i forgot wat they are. It also has theses three sections with little **** to tune One of them says Subwoofer and one says equalizer. I dont what they are all for but im sure they are already in the right spot and i dont want to mess everything up. I see that the connections are all at the bottom and I cant really see all of them. I just see wires sticking out of there and I cant move the speakers very far awy because the cabls are too short.
I just wanted to now If I can add some 6.5 inch speakers to the front. I dont know which ones to get. I was thinking Jl or poineer or infinity but I cant decide?

Well Ill try to take a pic tommorow and ill post it. I found a pic of how i would like to also add a 3rd woofer. If i want to do i just run the red and black wire off on that is already working. If i do that will that mean that the power to each will be cut in half?

The ugly pic with 2 woofers is the setup I have. I want to add the 3rd woofer in the way it is mounted In the other picture. It would be behind the seat. Ill post a pic of my amp tommorow. I wanted to add another 10" unless you think i should add a 12' or something else. I want a good performing woofer for a little bit of money.
Thanks for your help.

sorry the pics are bad but i have very little space. I cant get the connection part because i have to unscrew the amp its mounted on the side. If you need to see the connections ill unmount it and take some pics.
