[QUOTE="zane, post: 294, member: 540617"] Firstly- Welcome to the Forum!! We look forward to abusing you here! he he he! [IMG]biggrin.gif[/IMG] Now, concerning your question, Rear speakers- pull them or leave them alone- they will not contribute to an overall balanced and effective soundstage. On to the door speakers- I really liked the 6.5" idea there quite a bit better- however this would likely involve modifying the door panel and sheet metal to accomodate the 6.5" model. Also clearance issues may arise if the speaker basket is too large. The better option would be to bite down and begin some custom work on a set of kick pannels to house a 6.5" component set. When speakers are placed in the kicks, the distance between the speakers and your ears is more even, thus producing better imaging and soundstage. Kick pannels are a bear to work with, and require a lot of time to get them just right. Take a look [URL="http://www.eatel.net/~amptech/elecdisc/fibrglas.htm"]HERE[/URL]for some information about building the kicks/fiberglass enclosures; to see if this is something that you are ready to tackle yourself. Take it easy, -zane [/QUOTE]
