[QUOTE="Gary S, post: 3376836, member: 568291"] Okay, what will your system be comprised of... amp(s) and four after market speakers, no sub, right? If so, with 5.25 comps in front, most of your bass will be coming from the rear doors, and the rears may be louder. If you go with all 5.25" and no subwoofer, you will have very little bass, and may end up disappointed As I think about it more, without a subwoofer, I think I would want 6X8's all the way around for efficiency/bass. See how much 6X8 components up front and 6X8 coax in the back would cost. Just get some cheap ones for the back, they will be mostly to add bass. You could always go all the way and scrap the rear speakers altogether and instead get a box and a single 10" or 12" subwoofer for the rear hatch area... might not cost any more than 6X8's in the rear, and you could run all that off the smallest 4-channel amplifier. That would be the best overall sound quality for the buck. Just letting you know what can be done. [/QUOTE]
