[QUOTE="headless, post: 4273382, member: 566363"] Not worth it - you couldn't use the passive x-over without tweets hooked up, rears are pointless and if you really want to go with a 3-way you could spend even less for a comparable configuration. If you get decent speakers for the front of your car your rear passengers will have no problem hearing them loud and clear - just a month ago I drove a couple of hours giving some friends of mine a ride from jacksonville to tallahassee - the whole way listening to music; they sat in the front seats afterward and said that though the bass was slightly louder in the back that they had no problems hearing everything with perfect clarity. Seriously, a single set of speakers can inundate your passenger cabin with sound. If you put rears in, you will be listening to a ****ed up stereo image that is excessively delayed in relation to the speakers you've installed up front; you'll need time alignment processing at the very least to make it sound reasonable and even then you will have a feeling that the sound is coming from behind you unless you turn the rears WAY down - which kinda defeats the purpose in the first place (that should tell you that the purpose is a bad one [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG]). Spend that 75$ on better fronts/higher power amplifiers and have at it. Your budget probably is too low to really match that treo SSX at full tilt; you need to spend $$$ to match an expensive and powerful sub - particularly if you expect to have those fronts produce [/QUOTE]
