I just put three way kickers in my front and left the rear speaker alone you'll never hear the rear speakers if you get a good set of fronts. The install was very easy by the way there is a great video on youtube on how to remove the door panels.

I got the cheapo system, did you just swap out the speakers for now? Did you add an amp, etc.? Thanks!

I'll mention another option. Components in front and coax in back. Better sound but more involved install.

I was going to add a 3 channel amp to run the fronts and a Sub, but the fronts sound great to me without an amp so.....I will put an amp in later for just the sub...

I have 6.5 Polk MM components in the front, and Pioneer 6x8 3 ways in the back. Giving them both about 60 watts. I hate to say this since I spent a pretty penny on the components, but to be completely honest, I kinda wish I'd gone with a 'top of the line set' of Pioneer 3 ways in the front.

I've had quite a few sound systems and I really miss my Pioneer Premier 3 ways with some power feeding them. It just seems like they had a more balanced sound.

My ground shaking bass days are gone so I'm not sure I wanna give up the space-functionality for a sub, but no matter what you go with I strongly recommend getting something with the intent of adding a decent amplifier.

Interior speakers as opposed to exterior speakers?


Sorry, I had to.
