[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8149703, member: 611804"] Good 6x9 sub on a reinforced back deck can sound quite good but picking the sub is critical kicker comp 8s work well infinite baffle and actually sound really good in that configuration. And the back glass wont affect the subs sound much it will however direct the sound to the front of the car you seem to have a good idea on sound deadening but I would suggedt looking into keephopealive's accord build log its a different car but he explain hoe he does deadening and other treatments quite well component sets are sometimes iffy. You can usually get a set with a good tweeter or a good mid most of the time its a compromise between the two. Really good set cost a high premium so I suggest listening to alot of sets before buying ok silk dome and aluminum domes silk tends to sound smoother due to generally being less peaky in the 4-6k hz range but generally runs out of steam around 12khz resulting on loss of detail at high frequencies. aluminum is typically the reverse it extends high into the frequency range and brings out an "airiness" to the music but due to the peakiness in the 4-6khz range they may tend to "eat your ears up" andbsound horrible to you both disadvantages can be overcome with proper install and eq adjustments Dome\ring radiator vs inverted dome dome and ring radiator tweeters have one disadvantage to inverted dome tweeters. They like to be aimed at the listeners ears to get the most detail. They work off-axis but are generally better when aimed correctly inverted on the otherhand disperses the sound better and there for usually can retain more detail when pointed away from the listener. But when pointed at the listener they may seem harsh or distorted. all these statements are install dependent but are true from my research and experience a good set of components imo is the jbl ms line or the pioneer d-series when on a budget I also recommend placing the tweeters in various positions and choosing the best sounding before mounting. Making tweeters soundbgoodnin a horrible position can be a nightmare. The dash may or may not work well for you it served me well in my trucks but I mounted my tweets in other locations for final install on every vehicle I have personally owned [/QUOTE]
