[QUOTE="silverspace, post: 3283066, member: 579982"] 12voltinstaller.... I appreciate the good/helpful response. -current situation- returned the infinity speakers (front and back) to crutchfield because technical support couldn't give me the simple explanation that 12voltinstaller provided that the 6X9 kappas wouldn't "really fit". Delved into installing the infinity's myself but found it just wasn't going to work with such vague information from crutchfield. (again coming from inexperience) For simplicity sake I decided to go with JL for the reason they sounded good to me, in the sea of opinions and choices. Basically I'm looking for good bass response (minimal) and accurate/clear sound. I'm not after huge bass just clean/tight sound, which I realize JL may not be the absolute best answer, but maybe a good starter product? In terms of the do-it-yourself issue I just don't have the expertise that many of you have in setting up a small system. Many issues that seem minimal to a professional/expert would be a deal-breaker to me which is why I'm kind of at the mercy of an installer which I have a lot more confindence in. Bottom line I went on JLaudio.com and found a diagram that seems to fit what I'm looking for which is: keep factory head unit - free sat. radio - asthetics (possible JL OEM intergration unit) 1 pair of XR650 component speakers in front 1 pair of 5 1/4" speaker in rear (what i call full range) 1- 10" stealthbox below seat in back Amps - whatever is necessary - Does this seem like a good/minimal setup? - Is the tweeter mounted in the dash acceptable? As oppossed to mounted near speaker on door? Thanks for the valued information [/QUOTE]
