[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8670911, member: 650438"] if you plan on keeping the head unit and powering stuff off the head unit or LOC, give up on the idea, it'll sound like sh*t because the stock factory head unit is complete sh*t and its tuned for the stock speakers with a built in EQ curve and crossover like you said. You'll want to add a, digital sound processor "DSP" with signal summing and factory De-equalization and 4 channel amp and rerun wire to all doors to bypass factory crossovers for any real results otherwise you'll be spending a lot of money for completely garbage results.. Leave rear speakers on stock amp and power and leave them stock, they are useless. A DSP with cheaper(but still quality) drivers fully amped will sound better than a 2000 dollar speaker set on a factory head unit and amp. If you can get the hybrid audio, it will sound really good SQ wise, it'll be mediocre spl wise but utter destruction for your wallet haha. They definitely will sound good if you have an amp and dsp. other 2-3 inch wide bander options if the hybrid is to expensive. pick the ones with the highest sensitivity rating above 88 db if possible.
