Building a new setup to go into my '04 Mazda 3 Hatchback.

The plan started out being -

Eclipse CD8455 (already in)

Arc ACS265's in the front doors

Arc ACS265's in the rear doors

Arc Flatline 12d2 (already in)(sealed box)

Arc 2500-XXK running the flatline

Arc 4150-XXK running the doors

Pretty straightforward, and with it being a hatch, I didn't feel I'd need a midbass in the rear (overkill), however, the more I look into it, I'm looking at swapping out a set of the 265's in the rear for some Adire Extremis' in the rear.

Anyone care to offer opinions? This is going to be a SQ install, with VERY little emphasis on SPL.

i think there is someone with pretty much same set up on this board.

I know a few people like Arc on this forum, so I figured I'd toss it out there.

I'm absolutely in love with their XXK series amps, and the flatline has to be heard to be understood!

if i had the money i would for sure do that set up

Yeah, it's in the process of bankrupting me, but I HAVE to have that damping factor on that flatline!

for a sq setup, id ditch all rear speakers, run the front 265s and the sub, you wont need anything else for a flat response.
