[QUOTE="SlugButter, post: 8873686, member: 678073"] I don’t like the staging of where the speakers fire personally being behind the head, but wherever you can fit a speaker is kinda what you’re stuck with. It would not sound horrible if you had a 4x6 behind a above your head, but it isn’t ideal by sound quality standards. I have horrible 5.25 inch woofer spots in my 08 Colorado. The best sounding setup out of all the setups to my ears was a 3 way setup with a woofer in the door and midrange and tweeter in a pod up on the dash or A-pillar. Regardless of vehicle. This requires install steps that some people just don’t want to do however, like fiberglass in the a-pillar and such. Also, everyone’s ears are different. I like all my music coming from up front with the directional frequencies above 100HZ or so. Midbass I like to cut off at 250 HZ ish and bring the rest of the music up face high firing at an angle across the front of my face. Some people don’t mind rear fill and actually prefer it. It’s hard to know what you like unless you’ve tested it dozens of times, but all you can do is put speakers where they fit. The Dayton is a good midbass option and the direction you’re taking of splitting up the frequencies and bringing the music up high is a solid idea. [/QUOTE]
