A pillar help

[Lbetts818]

So here's where I'm at. I have 2 pwx 6.5s and two pwx8s per door in my 07 trailblazer powered by a ppi 900.4 and this is where I'm stuck. I have 4 sets (8 total) of sts-1 tweeters. Thinking of putting 4 tweeters in each a pillar or is there a better spot? Also if I do a pillars I'd like to put two 3.5 or 5 1/4 speakers (4ohm of head unit power,50rms) the tweeters will be powered by a, don't judge hifonics zrx1016 4 channel. Will I gain anything by putting speakers in the a pillars and if so what's a good size and like everyone else I'm on a budget but can save for a few weeks for something nice. What's a good size and brand for two in the a pillars that will get relatively loud on 50watts or so? And what's the best placement. I've heard aim left at passengers head and right side at drivers head or I've also heard aim everything towards the top/center of the car. Thanks guys!!

Do not put anymore speakers in the dash when you have waaay too **** much going on. Yeah have the tweeter face either the driver side or both towards the center of the car.

Focus on getting quality power and good sound processing instead of more speakers. That ppi is decent budget power but absolutely does not have the balls to push what you have going on right now. I also hope those 8s and 6s are in seperate chambers rather than shared.

If i were you, id get 2 more ppi 900.4s and do one for mid, midbass and tweeter before trying to add any more speakers.

A cheap 8 channel digital sound processor will work magic as well.

Again NO on the dash speakers not even on head unit power. Set your **** up right first before throwing stuff in that will just hurt and destroy sound quality

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Jeff. Will put in the doors instead. I'm just in the gathering stage of the build. And yeah the ppi is last under powering for sure but best I could afford //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif so I will NOT put anything in the pillars. As far as the mid ranges I'm fiberglassing the pods my self(first time)so how would you recommend separating them? Thanks again.
