[QUOTE="1991Brougham, post: 4247031, member: 584655"] With me it's about the vehicle's constraints. 1991 Cadillac Broughams don't have any real space in the door panels or kick panels to work with. The Pioneer REV 6x9's deliver the bass that I need and I use the balance knob to adjust how much of the rear I need along with the tone/equalizer settings to create a semblance of a front stage. There is no sub in the Cadillac yet, so it's up to the 6x9's to deliver what I need. The front speakers are BA 746 4x6 plates and they have sizzling tweets and fairly decent mids for a small speaker. Are they as good as a component 6.5 set? Hardly...LOL! I've got to compromise with what I have available for speaker locations so I'm stuck with the factory's and make do. If you don't have to worry about such things, then by all means go with comps up front, a sub in the back (or even two or three if you like) and rock yourself silly! Only stick with the factory locations if the vehicle gives you little choice in the matter or you are looking for low budget car audio. I put lipstick on my pig is what it amounted to and I did okay with it, but at the end of the day it's still a pig. Rick [/QUOTE]
