Starter Setup?

Now with those components where would I put the tweeters, do some custom dremel work in my doors? Would I need another pair of speakers to go with those?

the 6.5's go in the doors. i have the small tweeters in the corner of my dash by the windshield. the crossovers i have behind my head unit.

components have a killer sound. but here's some full range speakers if you don't want to use the comps.

i heard the focals, and they're really good speakers, but i think the mounting depth is fairly deep. don't quote me on that, but the install i heard them in were custom pods on the doors. he said that they would not fit in his door. gmc sonoma.

I really know nothing of wiring, but the car is already wired for two amps and four speakers. I'm not really sure what I would have to change/move in order to throw those tweeters on my dash.

it's pretty easy. personally, i would not have any speakers running from behind the front seats. i assume the probe has the rear 6 x 8's or something. midbass coming from behind is not always a very good sound. the speaker wires run from the amp to the crossovers. the crossover has an output for the 6.5 and the tweeter. you have 1 crossover for the left and 1 for the right. since the speaker wires are already ran to the door speakers from behind the head unit, i put the crossovers behind the radio. it's just a matter of running a speaker wire for the tweeters.

Hmmm, cool. So take the rear speakers out of the equation, use the 6x5 for the mid, tweeter for high, sub for low?

I have to second the Mach5 as an option. I put a pair of MAW 15's in my car today sealed and they sound really good.

I really want to try them. How do you thinkt he 15 would sound in 4 cubes at 37?
