Wow, you gonna hack-up the door panels? I'm not sure you'll get too much more out of your audio --- considering this is a convertible. Just my 2¢ worth.

You'd be better off buying better standard component speakers (2 woofer, 2 tweeter) than a 4 woofer/two tweeter setup. You could also run into problems running the woofers in series - a better electrician than me will clarify.

What is your thinking behind this?

If you want more bass, then get yourself a subwoofer and run the standard components.
You could then use a 3 or 5 channel amp depending if you wanted to go fully active or not.

I have an Alpine PDX V9 which is a 5 channel amp. The woofers and tweeters are run from the 4 main channels, and the sub from the sub channel, like this:

I have an amp running focal components in the front and another amp running mono to a 10'' alpine type-r in a darkside v2 enclosure and my system has both great clarity and bump. Strongly suggest running this type of setup instead of 4 mid range door speakers.

where do you have your amp mounted? Just got this one and wondering if it will work above the gas tank. Thanks!

That Alpine PDX V9 is smaller than my Boston GT40, which I have mounted above the gas tank, so it will definitely fit.
Here's one of several threads
