Yeah, that should be enough, provided you're only running the hertz.

As for mounting the 4" midranges, I'd talk with a pro audio shop for that, so the required interior modifications come out looking good.

What year G? do you know what size stock front midrange/bass drivers?

you'd have to probably cut the door somewhere within 6" of the 6.5" mid (to mount the 4" mid), and once you do this, the speakers probably shouldnt be removed afterwards (if you were to say, sell the car).... why not go with a 2 way set? a 3 way set would be ideal, but you'll have to do irreversible surgery to make it happen (= costly)

As far as enough power for those components, the amazon link doesn't give tech specs on that amp. They would probably like more power though (if its 100w per channel)

Srry I forgot to mention its a 2004 sedan
Thats 1 thing I was thinking about was if I ever sell the car. I would have to leave the speakers there cause there would be a hole if I put back just stock but I got such a good price on the 3 way set I couldnt pass up ...would it sound any good if I put the 4 inch in the kick panels by the feet or would the door bbe more ideal?

Should I bridge the amp 200 Watts to each side?

I too, would just recommend a quality 2-component set, 200w per side will give the amp plenty of headroom so it'll be happy, just don't crank all the gains all the way up, and you'll be fine.

Any time I see those custom setups with added speakers I cringe. I just can't imagine cutting a hole into my door - what if 3 years from now I don't like it any more? Is it worth potentially buying new molding? 4" speaker addition is out. Go for a nice set of 2-ways and you'll be happy.

kick panels are another option where you could go back to stock fairly easily, and the sound stage isn't hurt too much (some enjoy it moreso even). The 6.5 would go in the kick panel, 4" in the door, tweet up top. Im sure there are vendors all over the net or on ebay for a set of premolded kickpanels, but if you're handy at all Id highly suggest making your own. its easy and its great experience..

200w per set sounds better.
