So how do you get the dash speakers out? Been thinking of replacing those speakers(all of them)

Just use a screwdriver with tape on the tip and pry on the side of the cover on the dash- there are 2 clips that snap into the front side of the dash from the grill.- From there it is easy- summing device is best way to go with separate amps. Poster above is right about burning up the amp- if you play at loud volume levels. If you do not play it too loud the amp adjusts output before clipping to try and keep the speaker damped.

Thanks, I think I'll be looking at some Hertz speakers to replace those ML speakers.

So, what is it that is in the rear deck again other than the sub?
I'm thinking of going with SEAS/Morel/Dynaudio or Scanspeak for everything but the sub. The sub will probably be Dayton or Peerless.

I know it depends on the speaker efficiency, but I'm wondering if the ML amps could at least power the mids or something.

I wonder if there's a way to do a decent passive radiator for the sub setup?

I would not do it...the ML amp has active processing to change the output signal to better control the speakers- I do not think you will find any "quality" speakers that only need 20-30 watts.
