[QUOTE="MarshallIsMe, post: 7938150, member: 646207"] I have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. 2 door. So it's a short SUV. The front speaker locations are actually far front on the door from the factory, this vehicle came with the 6-disk "200w" system which was their best option at the time. So you pull the panel off and instead of having circular speakers that matched the holes, out had 3 way 6x8s, where the glove box did would swing past them. Instead of screwing with that grill there, I sound dampened the inside of the door panels and the metal door frames, then I used a router to cut out circular holes, left the original speakers there, but used their power to feed the external xovers on the Polks, and the 6.5s are mounted in the door panel itself now, as far forward and high as I could get then, and I used the circular plastic mounting spacer a the back side plate the speakers anchor to. So the speakers are now mounted basically right next to your hips and waist with enough gap, about 3"between your belt and the center tweeter. Just using the factory channel, the sound is amazingly better sounding and louder, I don't want bass so loud it blocks the words of music, I want loud super clean sound. But they, through all head set adjustment, do have some hiss when all the way up. If I look right where the rear 6x8 would be, it was a clean path right to my ear. So my plan was to do whatever is needed for super loud clean vocals up front, and then use a single 10" in the rear cargo area.
