Default Speaker question

I'm in the process of revamping my stereo and was wondering if coaxials in the sail panels would be worth it? I would be shutting off the 4" speakers in the hatch also.

Not worth it IMO. Separate components are your best bet.

Here's a thread with some insights from Ian at Kee Audio. https://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-el...-speakers.html

Kee is is an expert on working with these cars, can supply you many good options, knows what does and does not work from their customers, and has prices that won't rip you off. There's a sponsor link to the right.

Thx wssix99. So I'd have to rerun the wiring from the hatch speakers to the sail panels if i wanted full range sound? Would it be better to just cut out the sail panels since they are only midbass and upgrade the hatch speakers? I will have 2 12" JL subs so do I really need the sail panels? Or would cutting them out ruin my soundstage?

I would say if your going to run two 12's the hatch speakers aren't needed, and get a nice pair of components for the front doors and something for the sails, such as what Kee Audio has or whatever is in your range. But really two woofers with a nice set of door components will satisfy you even with stock sails, but upgrading never hurts.
