Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rcn11thacr" data-source="post: 8769392" data-attributes="member: 683310">I have a 2008 GMC Duramax crew cab with a 275 amp alternator that I gutted the interior, top to bottom, & put 100mil Kilmat and Dynopad in. I’ve ran a 1:0 power line, 18ga 9 speedwire conductor from the in dash Sony XAV-601BT, and 12ga leads going to all 4 doors. The last time I did a real stereo install, RCA’s were the go to thing. Now I understand using the high outputs from the stereo is better(?) so I ran this speedwire.Currently, the radio is hooked up to the factory speakers and all of the aforementioned items are laid in place for future plans “I have yet to decide”. Now to my question.I want to do a decent SQ build. Nothing that will go to a show or be in a competition. I want good mid-range sound. Thinking somewhere around 125-150w range for the mids. Currently I believe the doors have 6.5/6.75 factory size speakers.Is it better to have more of them or go larger? I.e. say a single 8 inch or 6x9, or twins of the factory size?I plan to mount the tweezers high in the A pillars, sub (or subs) who knows right now. I’m  thinking about installing 2 pair of 8’s in the read doors as my subs. It doesn’t fit into my SQ build ideas (at all), but it would eliminate a need for a box. Something like the T series Kickers. I’d much rather have Q class, but if I could squeeze 2 eight inch T series Kickers in each rear door, that would really be cool. I primarily listen to rock/heavy metal, but have been known to slip in some of my old school CD’s of Magic Mike to make my kids smile. So I’m not against being called a base head. Almost 30 years ago I won 1st place in the state of Fla in the 600w class w/2 12in Kickers & all MbQuart mids & highs, w/a 3 amp set up @139.1db @100% total clarity for SQ using 6th order quasi band pass box.Have I lost my mind? What’s everyone think?</blockquote>
