A Pillar Size?

[mmets]

Not a fiberglass expert by any means but figured I may tackle the task sometime and put a component set up in the A pillars just for the fun of it. I have looked at some 4 inch sets but most of them will not allow me to run the watts to them without going way over, rather not. Can I put a set of 5.25 or 6.5's up there without it looking too big or really not belonging? Also what are some decent sets that I could use that wont break the bank. need to handle around 100 watts. Will put about 125 to them though. You can see what I have in my sig and I don't want to spend what I already have on the focals. Will run off my 175.4 along with the crescendos and need to be 4 ohm so I can run those two channels at 2 ohms. Thanks for the input.

Hold up a 5.25" or 6.5" speaker, or even a circle cut out of paper or cardboard, and decide if it looks too big.

That works good, i tried that when i built my kicker panels. I really wanted some 8" for midbass but being a small car w/ small kicker panels i ended up going 6.5s. But the cut out idea help determine that.

Oh i have also seen 5.25s fabed up in the dash with tweeters firing forward that where glassed up and looked good if a pillars look to big. Good luck, keep us posted.

I wouldn't do anything bigger than a 4" mid in A pillar.

Long as crossovered properly it will play clean and loud enough.5.25 and up is just to bulky and heavy
