[QUOTE="deni2s, post: 8653024, member: 675460"] Well, the sound deadening is already done pretty well in that car by previous audio installers (it was a 2 way setup on older Pioneer headunit and 2 A/B class amps with capacitor). Also subwoofer sealed box with JL w10v2 inside already done by them is quite fine. About different distances between ear and speakers - I hope p99rs headunit will cover that with time alignment. If you compare Jeep and z3 sizes, you might get an idea why kickers is really not much of an option - there is just not much space in small 2 seater car. I am not even sure if I could find space for 6.5 speaker, it might be that 5"1/4 is the biggest I can fit. I agree that I don't need any crossovers, but I still would like to know which speakers would be the best. I want to place lows in rear speaker positions probably for the same reason why you are telling that subwoofer location is not so important - probably lows location is more important than subwoofer location, but still less important that mids and highs. Decided to go to 3 way setup, just because I bought that p99rs headunit - I like the design of it and it looks like very serious unit, so decided to put it to full potential. So question still stands - would my 3-way config with not so optimal speaker location described in first post still sound better than similar 2-way config or not? And can someone recommend the best speakers for 3 way config (preferably with small dimensions)? P.S. Talking about Harman - these cars had Harman Kardon sound system as option from factory, but it actually quite ******, and everybody is upgrading that. [/QUOTE]
