That's pretty much all you get from 6x9's, they're great fill, especially for midbass.

[QUOTE=ldivinag;3135271]just to expand on why i ebelieve you dont need speakers in the rear doors.

1. stereo is still king in the car audio world. sure you dvd players and all that stuff. buti follow the car audio world (not as much as before) but what see every year at the CES is that multi channel gear has yet to make a breakthrough.

2. if are paid to drive people around, sure put speakers in the rear doors.

3. dont forget the value of a good (if not great) subwoofers. 6.5" midbass can only go so far...

if you search my older posts, i will always say:

1. buy the biggest and baddest front speakers you can afford and fit. doesnt have to be in the doors. if you are creative or have a great installer, you know what i mean.

2. buy the biggest and baddest subwoofer.

3. buy the biggest and baddest 3 channel (4 channel can be bridged) amp to power #1 and #2.

4. enjoy.[/QUOTE]
+1 i work at a stereo shop and the best sounding systems we do are usually the simplests, one 4 channel amp one subwoofer, one pair of 6.5" and one pair of tweeters, and a passive crossover, or everything the same with a 5 channel amp and run the component set active...

Morels or Dynaudio. Never ever buy 6 x 9's, oval speakers don't produce good clear sound...
