I have a 1994 Firebird with over 200K miles. I plan on getting a new car in a few years, so I am putting in speakers, because they can be removed. I replaced the rear speakers with Rockford Fosgate 3 way components. They are FANTASTIC and can bump like weak subs. I want to put in Alpine SPS 600C components in the doors,and hook up a Profile 1040 amp to the four components. I am also going to install 2 10" bazooka subs, and run a Profile 1200 watt amp to them. The catch is that each amp comes with 2 free tweeters. So the RF's haves 2 tweeters each, the alpines have one each, and i will have four others. I would like to put these in the four corners of the windshield facing in, and the other two in the back somewhere. I want to know what else i need, what you think, etc. Dont bash on something you havent had a direct experience with PLEASE.:D PM or reply if you know your stuff or if you want to see the exact things im getting.

You probably won't like the sound if you install all those tweeters - it will much too bright. Also, high frequencies are very directional so it's generally not a good idea to put tweeters behind you. One pair of tweeters in the A pillars should be plenty... keep the others for spares or sell them.

If you're putting in a surround sound system, that 5" speaker might work well for the center channel if you could figure out where to mount it (maybe under the defroster vent in the dash?).
