White Lightning Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I'm looking for good sounding music. Hereing every note with good balance not knowing where the sound is coming from. Don't think I will go with 8's....just keep the 6.5's. Mainly wondering if putting both sets in front will be like night and day rather than 1 in front and 1 in rear. Or if put on the rta, eq properly and mix correctly with fader, the end effect will be about the same either way. Don't have a separare eq as of now...just the adjustable 7 band on the HU which I think is pretty decent. Don't roll your eyes....but what is running active? OK ... My reasoning for suggesting the 8" drivers is that in those vehicles, with the bose mounting brackets, it is a simple tradeout install ... everything bolts into place without tearing up your door pannels ... Why buy 2 cheap 6.5" component sets when you can buy 1 bad ass 8" component set with cleaner, more powerful output power ?? You can tear into your door pannels if you wish, I'm only trying to make things easier for you ... was hoping to keep it simple, but to get the best is never easy. If 2 sets in front....run those off the 4 ch amp and run the rear coax off the HU? would it be bad to just put the Sonya's that are in the front right now in the back then? 8" component set up front on the front 2 channels, 6.5" component set or coaxals in the back doors on the back 2 channels ... WITHOUT door pannel modification ... keeping it simple Sir !!! In sound quality ... the challenge is to do more with less ... Oops double post....what about tweeter placement if there are going to be 2 on each side? simple ... 2 tweeters in the A-pillars (1 in each a-pillar) to set your stage and image, and run your coaxs in the rear locations ... Now ... as far as running active ... Exactly how much money was you wanting to spend on this project again ???

stipek Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I found out what active is and I am not quite going to go at that level. I'm just gonna use the crossover. Thanks. Good info. I didn't see any "make sure you don't this" posts so regardless of which direction I go its gonna sound a shit ton better than the sony's in front and factory in the back.
