[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7594179, member: 576029"] agreed with Zako, as usual. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] in my dad's car i've installed rear 6x9 subwoofers that had a natural roll off above 200Hz. 4x6 in the dash. 1990 Caddy. it's weird, i mean, you have the full range replicated, and even off an aftermarket deck you get plenty of output, but when i listen to it i'm disappointed that i can completely located all midbass behind me. he loves it, and that's what matters. so really, it depends on your expectations. back in the day we had tiny dash speakers and huge rear speakers - so we just put everything behind us and didn't care. now we have the opposite - hell, i want to stash a sub under my dash. but we were just as happy back then as we are now and the systems are totally different. if you have subs in the trunk they will distort the rear speakers. enclosing rear speakers works well, but you lose bass up front since those holes are the main pathway for air from the trunk. leaving the holes open results in more bass. most of these cars don't have front door speakers, but have plenty of room for a 6.5" speaker. even if you surface mount a pod and cut through to the door cavity (which i've done) you can get decent midbass up front.
