Thank you,

Sy

If you're after a club sound experience with loud music all around you this might be acceptable. Typically we want to focus our efforts on making the speakers in the front of the car sound great, and the back speakers are greatly de-emphasized. What kind of music experience are you seeking?

Hello trumpet, thanks for the reply.

My music variety is pretty diverse, anywhere from 60s oldies up to heavy metal. I listen to a lot of electronic music like DnB but also heavy and classic rock.. occasional pop too.

I was actually told by someone yesterday that components in the front and coxials in the rear doors would fit better with no 3.5s in the rear. I forgot to mention that the subs and amp are handmedowns from my brother. I use this car to carpool people very often so that's why I was looking in getting a good system across for all seats.

Would you be interested in a setup that may give you more than you expect without costing a ton of money, plus it will be less complicated to install?
