[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8718776, member: 614752"] Components meaning 1 pair 6.5" mids and 1 pair tweeters up front, seal/deaden doors and play around with position and aiming of the tweeter than blends best. 3 way fronts can be nice but you'll really want all 3 as close together as possible or have some good digital processing plus a lot of patience to try to dial it al in. The other thing about just one set of components is that the two pieces are engineered to blend together nicely and give a flat response (provided you're buying a good quality set) so they really shouldn't be leaving any gaps in frequency response that need filling in or anything and adding other stuff in other locations is as likely as not to make peaks and nulls in your response where they overlap. SQ types shoot for a realistic soundstage where if you close your eyes and listen to good recorded live music, each singer/instrument is coming from its own place and everything seems to be coming at head level and from somewhere in front of you out beyond the windshield. This will be difficult or impossible to accomplish with speakers all in different locations in front of and behind you even with a lot of processing power. Then again, you may just be happy with loud and clear which is very feasible with what you have listed. I've used a lot of JBL over the years and never been disappointed, so at least that shouldn't be your weak link. [/QUOTE]
