huh? where are the questions?

oh do you mean this:

the answer to the first quyestion is no if they are stock speakers. the stock speakers run best off a stock amp. if you are getting a new amp then get new speakers as well.

wait, so that means you have CDTs in front? yes use the crossovers that came with them (passive) unless you are running an active crossover network, which i doubt you are. And then the answer to the first question would be yes, they will sound better off a decent/good amp.

Sorry about that....
yea thats what I meant to say.

my current setup is
pioneer ph5000 hu
cdt's on the front
infinity kappas 62.7 in the sail panels using the hatch wiring.
10" cvr in a stealthbox

and I still have the monsoon amp in there.

the thing is that my fronts sound lower than the infinity's and also the fronts are a little static

thanks Im going to go ahead and try out the 5ch amp to run my fronts and maybe even my infinitys although those sound pretty good as it is now.
