projected stereo setup...inputs? while i have my bushing set on order and awaiting their arrival anxiously, i've been lookn into goin ahead an replacin the sound system (seeing as how my left speaker's blown X( )
here's what im lookn at (full jl setup):
front: XR650-CSi (or maybe 653-CS??)
rear: XR650-CXi
Amp.: 300/4 (for speakers); 500/1 (for sub)
Sub.: 10w6v2
H/U: Alpine CD-9856
the h/u choice was just that i hear alot about alpine heads and i've seen a few people post about how they bought the above head unit (actually, i thought it was the 9851 model, but i didnt see that on alpine's website).
I *did* have a question about the front speakers: how much difference would you hear between a 2- and 3-way component speaker? Is it worth it to get the 3-way? Just wanted some input to see what you guys think of the setup, maybe im missin some stuff or that i need to add. u guys seem to be pretty helpful in comments - negative or positive.
once God blesses me with the money, all the stars and planets line up correctly, and i get a sudden boost in my paycheck, maybe then i'll have just enuf to build this system...so i just plan on building it piece by piece

I took advice of some ,on these boards- and skipped the rear speakers,and put the money into the best front components I could afford. I used a single JL sub in a stealth box, and I'm very happy with the results.

any thoughts on a specific eq? not real sure about using them...havent looked into buyin one...yet 
also, i may take popular advice an just keep the rears, like bobo suggested, at least until i get everything else upgraded/installed, just to see how it sounds. i know it'll at least save me ~$300

was thinkin maybe the woofer in the obvious spot, the mid- to the upper front corner of the speaker, then the tweeter mounted in the a-frame (or the triangular part in the corner of the window, thought that was called the a-frame?) OR, i see the 2 little vents, one on each side, that are on the panel, facing the windows, and was thinkin if u culd remove the faces and install the tweeters in those?

Camaroguy, so you just plan on cutting a hole in the door panel next to the stock 6 3/4" location? You looked around there at all? Also, all of those tweeter locations will work. I've listened to them all.

eh, just an idea...didnt know if anyone had tried it already or not. but im ordering the 2-ways, so no need to wet ur pants
just for confirmation, i read the stickey on stock speakers in camaros an it said that the rear speakers are 6 1/2"? i took a look at them yesterday and they looked like 6x9's ...or maybe im just all off here..
