[QUOTE="Jandry, post: 8391414, member: 664430"] Any particular reason you want 4 speakers? Most here myself included will tell you that taking the money you would spend on the rears and putting that money into better front speakers is the best bet. Rear speakers make getting your stage right pretty hard, especially if you turn your head or move around. Why not use some compact subwoofer you can fit under the rear seat instead? You can keep your rear speakers in for rear sound when you have passengers- of course this depends on your head unit, or whether youre using the factory head unit (which can be bad as many OEM stereos modify output to mask the crappy OEM speakers). I have a Pioneer TS-SWX2502 which is pretty good, though it wouldnt please most people here. Its better bass than any speaker is going to put out on its own though. There are other compact enclosure options which might suit you as well- a few by JL Audio which is a great sub brand. Whats your budget for this project? Have you factored in the cost for the amp kit, and have you considered door prep yet (best way to get midbass/bass out of your door speakers)? Im not trying to force you towards a sub- just trying to encourage what most of us think will get you the best sound for your buck. A sub is the best way to get better sound out of your door speakers besides door prep, and of course it adds considerable bass to your overall sound. If youre dead-set on no sub, at least consider a front speaker that is well known for midbass- HAT Imagines (expensive but amazing and can be mounted coaxially) or JBL P660Cs (component speakers- tweeter is separate) come to mind. The back should be whatever cheap speaker you want (or even the stockers) just to add some rear fill.
