97 Maxima Install - Being Redone

So why don't you just run your 9-6-1 front stage of a single X200.4 if you don't mind me asking? It's the perfect amp for that setup... 200w to a set of Elites, and 200w to a set of 9M's (3dB difference to 400w!). More than enough crossover to do the whole setup too... you can run bandpass on the 9M's and highpass to the Elites. The 200.4 is IMO the PERFECT amp for that setup.

Then all you need is a sub amp... run rear fill mids only off the deck power. Voila!

Although that's a good idea, the 3db difference is a big difference for me. I heard the 6" with 100w power when using the TI400.2 vs 200w power when using the x200.4 and it makes a huge difference. I also would like to power the TI6 Elites in the back with some power; it makes no sense to have a set of TI6 Elite mids powered by the HU IMO, I can just go and get some cheap fill ins if that were the case.

I have the amps, why go the cheap route and not have the system to its full capabilities?

For now, I'll hook up the TI800.1 I have stashed away (even though I really don't wanna power that up since I wanna sell it soon) for the 9s and use the subsonic filter on it to make it bandpass.

If you're going to use the 800.1, keep the midbass crossed over low, like 150, since you'll be losing directionality with the mono amp.

I think you're crazy though. Anything more than 50 watts destroys my ears

lol, I think my ears are already gone... I put those two TI12D Elites in there at 2500 watts, and I felt my ears start hurting, def lowered it right away... really debating if I want them in there or not.
