In my 2000 Chrysler LHS (with stock infinity system)

Head Unit

- Kenwood Excellon KDC-X994

Amplifiers- Currently Operating

- Speakers- Stock Amplifiers (unknown power)- 1 front, 1 back
- Subwoofers- Kenwood KAC-7285 (300 rms/600 max)

Speakers

- Front- Component- stock Tweeters
- Blew woofers, replaced with jbl GTO 628 (60 rms/ 180 max)
- Rear- Component- Stock Tweeters, Left side blown
- Stock woofers 6 x 9
- Subwoofer - Three JBL 10w08 10" subwoofers

Extras Laying around

- Amplifiers- Kenwood KAC-7285 (300 rms/ 600 max)
- two- Rockford Fosgate Punch 40 (2 channel, 40 rms)
- Speakers- Pioneer TS-A6960R (40 rms/ 220 max) 6 x 9

Soooo Questions

would it be more beneficial to-

1) Replace the rear 6 x 9 speakers and bypass the factory amps and factory component speakers so the head unit powers the GTO 6.5" and Pioneer 6 x 9 directly

2) Replace the rear 6 x 9 speakers and disconnect the factory amps and component speakers and power the 6.5" and 6 x 9s with the punch 40 amplifiers

3) leave everything how it is, just remove the 6.5 and 6 x 9 woofers from the component setup and power them with the punch 40 amplifiers, leaving the factory amps and tweeters in use for extra treble.place the woofers with the GTO 6.5s and the 6 x 9s

4) just replace the woofers with the 6.5" and 6 x 9s and call it a day.

The thing i think of is i have 2-way speakers and 3-way speakers being used as woofers for the components is a waste of hardware.

Is there any value in keeping any of the 10-year old infinity system partly operational?
Thanks
