stipek Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Getting 2 sets of hertz hi energy 6 1/2 comps. Got a 2003 bravada. Wondering what the best setup for them is. Put one set in front and one in back. Tweeters in a pillar and top of rear doors. Or should I put both sets in the front and just get some 2 ways for the back.

White Lightning Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Do those door pannels have factory locations for a component set in all 4 doors ?? I think the chevy Trailblazer does ...

RMac18 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Run both up front and if you want to run rear fill pick up some coax's for the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassface Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Any reason all in the front and none in the rear seating area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Any reason all in the front and none in the rear seating area? Because at the end of the day, its all about how the owner/driver hears the music. A good front setup doesn't need rear speakers, and I'm not concerned with my passengers tastes.

RMac18 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 When in the vehicle you'll most likely be in the front, so you want your sound stage to be in the front as well. Some people like to run a rear sound stage either for fill or for passengers as well. Others prefer to only run a front sound stage with no rear fill. The later option is more commonly found in sq cars as a opposed to most daily driver and street cars which typically run a rear fill.

White Lightning Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Any reason all in the front and none in the rear seating area? Most Sound Quality vehicles run front stage only ... true ... But most of those vehicles I've demoed seem to be lacking rear ambience to me ... Most people do not run rear drivers because they think that adding rear drivers will pull their stage back instead of being up and out on the hood where it should be ... In my opinion, if you can not run rears because it pulls your front stage back behind the radio ... you installed your system wrong ... plain and simple ... Rears should be installed to compliment your front stage to enhance stage width and give that rear ambience effect like your hear in movie theatres ... And I cant stand the driver seat sounding perfect and the passenger seat sound like shit ... This is why I ONLY compete 2 seat judging ... Both seats should sound great !!! My wife drives alot and I like to hear my sound system sounding good on the passenger side as well as the driver seat ... If you have a daily driver where 4 people sit and ride alot ... 4 door component set installs sound great ... you can always adjust the system with fader and EQ ... My kids ride in the back seat of mine all of the time ... This decision mainly depends on what do YOU want out of your system ... people ride in your back seat ?? You want great sounding music ?? or are you interested in stage and image ?? Honnestly, I would do a component set in each door ... I think that Trail Blazer (Bose setup) had a 8" driver in the front doors, So I know that a 8" component set will go in those doors, and a 6.5" component set in the rears ... put a shit ton of power on them and you should be very suprised with your system ... Remember to use your fader and EQ for stage and image ... again ... all of this is just my suggestions based on what I've seen done to those vehicles in Sound Quality competitions ... Best of luck to you Sir ... Edited May 16, 2012 by Cablguy184 Quote Kenwood / HELIX / Linear Power (For The Love Of Music) / Brutal Sounds / OverKill Electric Co Questions About Sound Quality ??
