well if you gonna run a substage then i would reccomend not running back speakers and the reason people run speakers diff from front to back is because one brand and type a speaker might be better in one size than another like one brand would be the best 6x9 for the back and another brand might be better to run in the front for like 6.5's or5.75 it all depends on the user and what they want but not everybody runs diff speakers

do you have subs?

if you do, the rear is kind of a waste of time, you dont sit in the rear, if you dont have subs, the rears will just act like a fill, you sit in the front so you will hear you front speakers alot more than rear

so if you have subs, rears really arent needed

my car already got tweeters in it does that matter?

 

[tbasile1 10+ year member]

if theyre stock, they are most likely garbage, but that means you have a comp set

a component set consists of a woofer, tweeter and crossover

Many amplify their component sets to bring them up to their full potential

Give us a budget and we can pick out a comp set and an amp to go along with it for your front stage

how would i fit 6 1/2 in a 5X7 spot

 

[tbasile1 10+ year member]

well ya never told me u had 5x7s but u can jus make a baffle and theyll prolly fit, 6.5s are better than 5x7s

how do u make a baffle

It's easy.

1. Determine how much mounting depth is available between the door panel and the speaker mount (usually the inner door skin, but this can vary from vehicle to vehicle).

2. Determine how much mounting depth is available between the speaker mount and anything underneath (towards the outer door skin) that a speaker might interfere with, like a window actuator.

3. One you figure those out (especially #1), you can then determine how thick the MDF baffle/adapter can be.

4. Take the MDF, place your stock speaker on it face down (inverted with the magnet facing up), take a pencil and trace around the speaker and mark the mounting holes.

5. Remove the stock speaker from the MDF and place the new 6.5 speaker face down inside the tracing. Break out the trusty pencil again and trace around it and mark the mounting holes.

6. You may have to modify (widen) the 5x7 tracing on the long oval portions to allow more MDF material if the 6.5 comes too close to the 5x7.

7. Use a jigsaw to cut off the excess MDF inside the 6.5 tracing then around the 5x7 tracing.

8. Use an appropriate sized drill bit to drill out the mount holes for the 6.5 and 5x7.

9. Mount the 6.5 to the baffle, then mount the baffle to the speaker mount.

10. Voila! Done.
