[QUOTE="Frraksurred, post: 69583, member: 544871"] A 4" spkr will play vocals well, but a 4" is incredible limited if it's used all by itself. Usually the only time a 4" is installed [I]by choice[/I] is when it is with a larger woofer (6" to 8" for bass) and a tweeter (for highs) and even that is rare. Only high end component systems add a 4" becuz the tweeter and the woofer do the job well enough by themselves. If you want good midbass and a solid front stage then I'd install a 6.5" component set up front and save any money you'd spend on rear spkrs. I have a set of rear 6x9's in my car but I already owned them, and the fader on my deck is set so they barely play. If they are loud enough you can close your eyes and locate them when all four spkrs are playing, then they are too loud. You shouldn't know they are there, they should add just enough sound to "fill" but not to distract or move your sound stage (you should be able to close your eyes and the band playing is supposed to sound like it's standing right on your dash). Hope that helps, but if you have more questions don't be shy. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
