Can I wire the Autosound dual voice dash speaker together with kick panel speakers?

Yes, the Custom Autosound USA 740 dual voice coil dash speaker can be wired together with kick panel speakers, especially when using a multi-channel amplifier like the Taramps 400x4. Proper speaker matching and crossover settings are important for optimal sound performance.
