Car Stereo Question

[DJBacon06]

Ok, so I feel kinda dumb for asking this, but whatever... Here's the deal. I drive a 95 Acura Legend, and although it has a nice Bose system in it, It's old, and starting to go. The Cd changer decided to stop working one day. So i decided to buy a new head unit instead of dealing with a new changer. Now, the legend has an 8 speaker set up. 2 6.5", 2 6X9" and 4 tweeters. two of the tweeters, however, are disconnected (i replaced the front pannel speakers). This leaves me with 6 speaker channels. Now here's my quesiton. If a head unit says it supplies say... 50 watts per channel, with 4 channels. Would i not be able to have all 6 speakers plugged into the head unit? (I do plan on replacing the back speakers with nicer ones, that will have tweters in them, so its not that big of a deal.)

anybody?

I dont think you can. I had the stereo replaced in my truck and it also had 6 speakers but I couldn't use the 2 little tweeters. I'm no expert so don't take my word for it.

You should be able to use them. More than likely the Headunit you had only had 4 connections coming in, but had an amp that ran all the speakers. So if wired properly you should be able to use them as i have 6 speakers in my Bravada and i replaced mine with an Alpine headunit, 60x4 and they all 6 work fine. Just take it to a good installer and they'll rewire it for the new cd player and it should work fine.

alrighty, thanks guys. I'm thinking the tweeters might jsut be tapped onto the main speaker wires. I'll have to check that out
