I woulda just stuck with stock or something much less than components in the rear. Remember, anything in front of your ears is Stereo, anything behind is Mono(just rear fill more or less).

Otherwise, Massive is good stuff!!!

Ah..... well be sure to not focus the sound in the rear!

What I do when I'm doing a full set-up and come time to tune, start from the front and work my way back. I do the sub last.

right but im not putting subs in....... Yet because i'm not in the position to give up my trunk space. so I'm going to build a box that lets me keep as much open space in the trunk as possible likely use up the sides. But i wont have the time to build that for a few months

so how much were they.

personally I would not install the rear tweeters. Although I probably wouldn't install rear speakers at all, but definately not the tweeters

you really think so ??? if im trying to achieve true surround sound wouldn't I keep them??
It'* not really a issue of cost at this point just trying not to give up my trunk space. Like i said when I get the time I might build a sub enclosure that allows me to atleast fit a hockey bag in there with out a fight.

But depending on how it sounds with just the components I might not bother. :? :? :?
I'm really thinking about running the rears off of there own amp tho.
