Well I blew my Alpine Type X, so I decided to just redo the whole thing. Since my car came with a factory CD changer, I have a 10 inch free air sub, 4 inch front and back speakers and 1 inch tweeters. I want to run a new 12 inch sub at around 500-750RMS, and a new 10 inch free air a 250RMS...what about the speakers..it looks like we're pretty limited by drop in replacements..and the tweeters? Should I replace and power those as well? I want good quality sound thats decently loud. Nothing insane and looks 100% stock. Can this be done?

DO NOT RUN A 12 IN AN ENCLOSURE AND A 10 FREE AIR!!!!!!

If you run this setup your 10" IB will become a glorified paperweight inside of 6 months. Probably sooner.

By running a sealed or ported 12 in the trunk you are creating a large amount of air pressure inside the trunk. This is what you hear as bass. By putting an IB driver in the factory location all that pressure will be trying to push the cone of the IB driver out even if the driver is on an inward stroke. Effectively decreasing bass output heard by you and shortening the life of the IB driver.
