[QUOTE="the727kid, post: 8498859, member: 569362"] Could clarify please, you stated that the tweeters in the co-axials blew, but then you ordered and installed new tweeters? Did you completely replace the JL 3.5s or just add in tweeters? Even with just the 3.5s I would still cross those at around 200hz. The PDXV9s and the Pioneer 4100 are a very strong backbone to a system. The reason people don't multiple sets of speakers in the car is because it typically destroys the sound stage. A tired but true example: When you are at a concert the band and speakers are in front of you, not behind you. All the tuning in the world couldn't help you when you have double the power going to speakers behind you. It can tame tonality and clarity but will not be able to fix staging and imaging. Rear speakers can be provide a huge advantage to create ambient noise to help the overall soundstage, however that is not an easy task to accomplish and not something I would recommend trying for a while. If you notice around here, almost everyone says go without rear speakers. You have 6x9s in the front doors, which is a huge advantage. When you are ready to upgrade you speakers, I would recommend taking a look at the Image Dynamic XS69 component set. Very loud and super strong mid-bass. Bridging these on a V9 and using the 5th channel for the W6, and running your rear speakers off the deck... I bet you would be very satisfied only using one amp. And once you get more comfortable with the system, you could re-introduce the second amp and start playing with an active set-up. The problem with running your sub woofer so high, even if it sounds great, is that it becomes very easy to locate. You should not be able to close your eyes and be able to point to where a speaker is. In an ideal set up, sound is coming from the front of the hood, and the sound stage should sound wider than your side mirrors. If you decide to get more serious into this, I also highly recommend fully and properly deadening the car. [/QUOTE]
