| I'd stay away from them all togeather unless its for a center channel or somthing, there is no mid bass out of them and they often sound muddled if you run deck power through them without a crossover to keep the midbass out of them. | |

| Back a few years ago when I had my cavalier it used 3.5" up front. I went through a bunch and my favorite where some Radio Shack with a wisser cone and then some Polk Audio two ways... I had a Pioneer GM-H50 running them and most people whould want to see my mids and highs and I would show them those 3.5" polks and they would freak. The small size and loud sound quality. I also used a pair or Polk MM3000 tweeters mounted high on the A-Pillar... A friend had a pair of the 5.25 comp sets but blew the 5.25 so he gave me the tweets and x-overs. The x-overs did not work well so I used some Radio Shack 3 ways instead... The tweets and rat shack x-overs are still going today over 10yrs later...

| personaly the 4" I would have to say is worlds ahead of 3" there tough and durable, but best used in a 3 way combo.
might get away with deck power on these but I'd recomend a component set. | |

| ok.. how about this setup.
4" component set in the dash (have the tweet's in the dash somewhere, or on the top part of the doors)
and 6.5" (If I can fit them) or 5-1/4" in the front doors?
I will power the 4"/tweets via the deck, and amp the mids in the door.
would that be too high pitched? I mean... will it sound unbalanced since theres no subs or more mids in the rear?

| why not just get a decent set of components, which should run only a tad more than two sets of speakers, and run the tweeters in the 3.5" locations??
Thats what i did, mid bass in kicks and tweets in dash, and it worked well.

| that could work [img]smile.gif[/img]
will 6.5" be too big for the doors? If I only have 6.5" and tweeters... will it not sound full? I mean.. am I gonna have to get something to bridge the gap between the tweets and 6.5's ?
Also.. the dash already has holes for speakers, so I kinda wanted to fill it up. I know it will cost more money, but will it hurt anything if I DID put 4" w/ tweeters in there ? | |
