[QUOTE="LsGuy, post: 8724116, member: 681035"] So I'm starting to plan my build. Subs are already decided, FU audio 6.5s under rear seat forward firing. The vehicle is a 2021 Jeep Wrangler, and the stock speaker layout is as follows: 2x 3.5's in the dash corners. 2x 4" (I replaced the pods in order to fit 6.5"s) in the knee panels, aiming directly at your knees. The sound bar just above and behind your head (seriously, like 8-12 inches above and behind your head) is also 2x 3.5" and 2x 4". Sound quality priority, but volume also very important, as this vehicle has its top removed often. Sound stage, as you can imagine, is terrible. I've picked up insulation for the top, but only so much you can do with hollow this fiberglass/plastic as far as acoustics go. Will be an active system. Have learned much here and from my last build, so will be trying to get better each time. Would you run, active 4 channel, running 3.5s in the dash corners and the 6.5 knees? Active 6 channel, with 3.5 dash corners, 6.5 mids in the knees, and dedicated 6.5 (or possibly modifying to fit 8s) midbass woofers in the sound bar? A combination or any variant of what is listed here, or something else entirely? I know I know, **** the rear speakers. I'm just worried about volume with the top and doors off. [/QUOTE]
