[QUOTE="anwaypasible, post: 7102863, member: 627657"] you really shouldnt try to use rear speakers when there is a subwoofer in the trunk unless the speakers are seperated from the massive amounts of air pressure that the subwoofer puts out. if you dont, the rear speaker cones are gonna move because the subwoofer is forcing them to move. the speakers might play.. but they are gonna distort much faster, which means you cant turn 'em up and they are useless. you need some time alignment for it to sound right.. otherwise placing the fill-in in the back will not make a soundstage and it will sound like your fill-in is coming from another room. in all honesty.. the economical way to do this is to get some 3-way crossovers for the front. then you get some sealed-back midranges.. cut some holes in the front doors and put 'em in there so that the window doesnt smack the speaker when it rolls up/down. then you use the speaker that is already there for the bass. and also add a tweeter.. or if your infinity speakers have a tweeter, unsolder it and hook it up to the 3-way crossover. you might not be happy about putting a hole in the door.. but this is the best bang for your buck. the pro's usually have 3-way speakers up front and each speaker is in a fiberglass enclosure. this prevents the bass from moving the speaker cone of the midrange. but since you want simple and easy.. just get a sealed back midrange (with a 3-way crossover). the master's usually put speakers anywhere they want and use time alignment to dial it all in.. sometimes adding baffles up by the ceiling to help with the soundwaves bouncing around.
