I use some of my old bike speakers in the car,
Currently have MM 652 in rear doors, MMats 601.4 in front doors and a old RZ4 2000d pushing 2x 12" fosgate subs.

It works!

I did, the stock system in my car sucked, got close to 5K in the dam thing now, and it's a high dollar car, it all started because I wanted to be able to plug in my ipod touch. british audio (Linn from 2006 anyway) sucks lol

I have a 2018 Suburban with the top level Bose. Added a JL Stealthbox hidden inside the console and small JL mono amp and a bass ****. Now it has bass and happy enough w the rest of the stock system. You should see the Bose "subwoofer" that it replaced,a joke.
My 71 corvette has components in the doors and a single 10" sub, all off a 4 channel, but it's all 15 years old now and was pretty middle of the road stuff back then. Now that my bike sounds so good, I really want to upgrade the vette!!
