Input On Speaker Selection?
Input On Speaker Selection? so as of now i have a crappy pair of rockford fosgate coaxials in my doors and bazooka 6.5" mid-bass woofers in my sails wit the hatch speakers deleted. the coaxials are running on monsoon power and the bazookas are running on my 4-channel kenwood amp so theyre getting 75w @ 2ohms a piece right now.
im getting pioneer ts-a1604c 6.5" component speakers for xmas and im getting myself 6LE tweeter pods to replace my lil door triangles. these components are gonna go in the pods and the doors. however, im debating scrapping these once i get them and simply buying a pair of polk audio db6501 components for the pods and doors instead. the OTHER option is scrapping both the pioneers AND the bazookas and going wit 4x polk db6501 in the pods, doors and sails.
given that story, here are my options im considering-
OPTION 1-
Pods/Doors- Pioneer 6.5" components
Sails- Bazooka 6.5" mid-bass
Hatch- Rockford Fosgate 6.5" coaxial
OPTION 2-
Pods/Doors- Polk Audio 6.5" components
Sails- Bazooka 6.5" mid-bass
Hatch- Rockford Fosgate 6.5" coaxial
OPTION 3-
Pods/Doors- Polk Audio 6.5" components
Sails- Polk Audio 6.5" components
Hatch- Rockford Fosgate 6.5" coaxial
in all of these options, the kenwood amp will be powering the door and sail speakers and the monsoon amp will power the hatch speakers. please keep in mind that i already have the bazookas and pioneers purchased, where as wit the polk audio speakers id have to buy them and sell my other stuff

6.5" speakers won't fit in the hatch without modification and besides, why would you want that much sound coming from behind you? Have you considered a more conventional setup with door components, perhaps sail panel components, and a stealth box sub (deleting the hatch speakers)? None of your three options are going to be very strong in the bass area so a small (10") sub in the back can work wonders.
I've got the DB6501's in my front doors right now, can't fully judge them yet because there only powered off the Pioneer deck without any amp, then I put some cheap 20 dollar (each) SSL midranges in the sails, thats really all you need, except a subwoofer, personally I wouldn't run anything in the hatch locations, just get a sub to do the lows and run everything off of proper amps and you will love it.
