considering that you do have a subwoofer, the original intent of the door speakers is somewhat useless, so it would be a good idea for a long-term goal to rewire the door speakers to the rear output of the radio-- that would allow you to use the 3-way mode the way it's designed.

I get it now. I wasn't aware that the high, bandpass and low filters are 'hardcoded' to the front, rear and sub outputs respectively. But I'm pretty sure my door speakers are playing what they should. Regardless this warrants another look - I'll do a test on the crossovers later.

Nice, I always thought car speakers had to be made 'more durable' or something to withstand the elements.
Getting stuff from where I'm from is difficult - the PS95-8s are at least twice the price here, but it's still considered cheap compared to other higher end stuff. You guys are fortunate
