For some reason with the bass blocker I still feel the tweeter moving as bass hits I take the bass out from the control panel I don’t feel anything. Wondering if the bass blockers are actually working or am I missing something

Try taking the bass blocker off and see if they move more...
They limit some of the bass, not all of it.

Ok I think I got it figured out damn it.
The factory capacitor is 197hz anything above that 198hz is coming through. The 600hz bass blocker I got is blocking everything below that. My question is can these infinity speakers handle 198hz and up?

No you don't. Work harder at it and maybe rotate it 180 degrees. I've installed those in 4 trucks and never clipped a damn thing lol.

There is no problem in changing the speakers. Just try to change the dash speakers too to some nice infinity 3.5s and believe me it will be a crazy upgrade.

On the base 6 speaker system you get a full range signal on all of the speakers. So you can use two or three way speakers for every location.
For the '9 Amplified Speakers with Subwoofer' option, is that 9 amplified speakers including the subwoofer? So 2 extra speakers over the base 6 speaker system plus a subwoofer? Where are the speaker locations for the '9 Amplified Speakers with Subwoofer' compared to the base 6 speakers?

9 Speakers + Subwoofer. 10 total.
3 in dash
1 in each door
2 in the roof liner
1 subwoofer behind passenger-side rear seat.

6 base speakers:
1 on each side of the dash (center one is not occupied)
1 in each door.

Does anyone know if there is wiring in the center spot in the dash of the base system? Would it be easy to add a center speaker in the dash?

There is no simple way to add a center channel and make it sound well without the use of a DSP and even then it is a pain.

No wiring but it has pretty easy access from the front if you remove the radio.
