[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8193118, member: 628688"] If you're concerned about tweeter placement you can always temporarily test them in different locations. A lot of people put tweeters in dash locations facing up into the windshield for a stock appearance. We can't tell you what you'll like better between those locations or the A-pillars. If you want good staging and imaging your other equipment's capabilities and the tuning will make a large difference on the outcome. You can still use a 5-channel amplifier to bi-amp the front speakers, and if you want a simple system that's what I recommend. A lot of 5-channel amps are going to want no less than a 2 ohm load on the subwoofer channel, but you can still get plenty of output from this kind of setup. Out of the amps I can offer my top recommendation is the JBL GTO-5EZ, although JL Audio, Alpine, and Kenwood have strong contenders as well. Under-seat prefab sub boxes almost always downfire the subs. It's an easy way to get more output as it uses what we call boundary loading to give you a free boost to the bass.
