70-k5 is on a distinguished road
Lets see where we left off...

Oh, yea, I f^ked it all up..... I don't know exactly what happened but the MID has no function any longer, that happened after I cut the wires and tried to relocate it to the glove box. Long story short instead of trying to integrate into the factory amp and DSP mumbo-jumbo I'm jumping off the deep end.

Finally arrived today:

KENWOOD EXCELON XR-5S

Nothing fancy, I don't want to blow up the world, just keep the wife happy, opted for the 5-channel just in case I need to add a little bass in the future.

But I think to myself, I've got 10 speakers and only four outputs... I found a little about passive crossovers, should let me listen to all the speakers and have the appropriate sounds come out of each of them....

I opted for a four pack of three way crossovers. There are three different types of speakers in the front: midbass, midrange and tweeters. Seemed simple to use a three-way here. In the rear there are only midbass and midrange speakers and I didn't want to use a two way crossover so I will use the same 3-way as in the front. Without knowing much about the factory speaker specs I assume this will work and I can balance out the sound with either the deck or amplifier eq.
