2 6.5" Tang Bands, 2 ID8s, or 1 ID10

Hey, I'm looking for a new substage. I'm just looking for a nice clean SQ setup with decent output. The Tang Bands would go in the rear speaker locations and the ID(s) would go behind the driver's seat. Either way, I will be using a free air setup. The Tang Bands would get 85 or 200 watts each, the ID8s would be getting 200 each, and the ID10 would be getting 400 watts. Which setup would you choose for my application and why?

Here are pictures of what I am working with:

your caramel seats are ***:yumyum:

for better imaging i would do 2 6.5" tang band.

but 2 id8's would be the loudest out of the 3 i think!

Thanks.

The rear speaker locations are better locations than behind the driver's seat?

Thanks.

well it depends, if you put it behind the driver's seat, the sound on the passenger seat will be weird... the location of the 2 6.5's will get the bass nicely all around the car

but behind the seat, of course you'll get all the vibration and spl...

IMO the 2 6.5" would sound better because of were they are placed, but not loudest.

I dont know what kind of room you have, but if you could fit two 8s in the 6.5 cutouts i would go that route.

I wish that would work, but there just isn't enough space

2 DD1008s

I'll throw that in there with the group of possible 8s

anyone had experience with the Tang Band 6X9s? 2 8s might not fit there, so I might get a pair and send them 200 watts each

I think JmanPC has Tang Band 6x9's in the front doors in his caravan.....he seemed impressed....look into the review section and read his.

The tang bands are so cheap I'd probably try those first and see how they sounded. Worst case you have to sell them on here, and that wouldn't take long. I think any of those options would sound pretty good, just make sure if you put the subs behind the drivers seat that they have breathing room. I'm running into problems with that in my Ranger now...

That's what I figure I'll do...
