Uh, what's a bass blocker, and why would I need it if I'm keeping them stock?

I wouldn't want anything below 200Hz playing on them things. I'd say even higher then that.....maybe 600hz TOC Admin Brando Heh, that will basically make them things oversized tweeters But, even with head-unit power the 3.5's are gonna need some bass blockers.
Or he could use the high pass crossover built into his new HU.
Yes, I would just power the 6x9s off a 2 channel amp...

bass blocker is just a capacitor, it's a 6db/octave high pass crossover.
You don't need them because your new HU has digital high pass crossovers built in.

Wasn't aware his head unit could separately do the fronts and rears. Mine is for all 4.

Yea, I don't see any designation for front or rear in the manual....brilliant.
In that case, I'd get a very small 2 channel amp for the fronts.

Yeah, I might part with mine since I have no use for it. Also got an older Jensen 40x2.

External Amp > Internal (headunit) Amp

200 is waay too much for the fronts. The Cardomain page says the max those 3.5's can handle is 30 watts. Would you be interested in an old school Fosgate Punch 30?

30?
But the output of the HU is 50, so its gotta take more then 30. And what do you got? A link maybe to the specs, how much with shipping to chicago?
