Which set up would you go for?

[MrsWatts]

Hi I was about to pull the trigger on 2 pairs of Audio frog GS 42s for my front and rear doors .I have a R.F P3D4 ported sub for the bass. Now I am wondering if I should forget the rear door speakers and go with 1 pair of GS 40 mids and GS 10 tweeters along with the GS 410c crossovers. Which would give me better SQ and be easier to tie in with my sub? And would that then make it a 3 way system? Also how many channels do i need to power the .midrange, tweeters and crossovers? Thanks

The rear doors are quite inconsequential for sound quality except for the people in the back. It's your system so I would prioritize the front and only worry about the rear if you try sitting back there and hate it. The tweeter components will do more for your sound quality than rear mids. The crossovers allow you to treat the tweeters and the mids as one speaker, so each crossover will get one channel. In the event that you forgo the rears it'll just require 2 channels. Then try using the original rears on and off to see which sounds better using the fader from there. It's more important to have level adjustment for front vs rear than left vs right, so if the amplifier can handle 4 of those crossovers then 2 channels is usually fine. That may allow you to experiment with only quality front speakers without more fully commiting to it by purchasing an amp that will only work in one scenario.
