[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8873563, member: 689267"] IF you want proper staging, forgo the 4x6's altogether and concentrate on the front stage with both tweeters and the midbass drivers, that will give you the very best staging, period. Anything above roughly 150 to 200 hz is directional so no sense in the rears at all. Tweeters take up very little power, maybe 5-10 watts in a 60x2 setup and you will not hear the different that ten or even 15 watts will provide in the woofer drivers. 45 watts to a woofer will need to go to 360 watts to double the volume to the ear, so 10 watts to a much more efficient tweeter in the 3-20000 hz range is good use of that 10 watts power, the x-over is dividing frequencies and doin so is also diving up some of the power, but very little. The x-overs usurp very little power. Contrary to the statement made, the body of the tweeter does not cancel anything audible as the tweeters are too close to interfere with the delivery of the frequencies produced by the midbass in a coincidental/coaxial configuration and zero probability with point source drivers all together. A woofer/tweeter in the front doors will provide the best sound stage, coaxials are close and in some instances equal and a frt/rear 4 or 6 speaker setup will be the poorest option of them all - regardless of how you feed them or what frequency you run them at. So again, a 2 speaker 2-way, a point source or coaxial driver in the doors would provide the best soundstage - no rear speakers at all. [/QUOTE]
