[QUOTE="Plutoman, post: 5808890, member: 601528"] Exactly - it's like listening to a concert. You don't turn around and listen to a concert looking at the parking lot. The front stage is the key portion - second is the subbass, third would be the rear filler that just generally opens up volume a bit more and can slightly center the sound stage. How you mount the component set is as important as the component set you build. If you mean overheard, as in up against the roof/top of the windshield, I honestly can't say how that will sound, not having heard that before. My recommendation is to do a bit of cutting and get a 6.5" speaker to fit in the doors - as long as it won't affect your windows, at least. If not that route, then I can't say too much beyond getting a good 4x6 set, or trying out your sound bar. You have the right idea, though - waiting is best. Use that amp for your comps, you can bridge the sides to two channels, and put more power to each component, allowing you more options as to what to get, and some headroom for power. Set the gains correctly, and the extra power won't hurt at all. But if you rush the whole thing, you'll regret it, and spend way more money than you would waiting, and getting just what you need the first time. Just a note, when you get a sub, you'll find the bass will overpower the rear speakers a tad anyways. But, the bass is not localized, meaning that you'll not be able to tell it's coming from the rear. [/QUOTE]
