Sound staging in a Regular Cab

[ToNasty]

I have an ext cab silverado but no rear stage. Take a look towards the end on my build log. Full range and tweets in the a pillar and midbass in the doors. Best I've had yet

I know it says 20W, I've seen them take closer to 50W in the real world. They don't NEED much power though to do their job. Remember, they're only 8 ohm. So an amp that puts out 40-50W at 4 ohms per channel, will put out roughly 20-25W at 8 ohms.

They are only 1.75" deep and won't stick out in a pillar too bad at all.

if you fade out the rear pillars until they are barley on it will trick you into thinking you have a high stage

My buddy kimo does this in his silvardo it really makes it sound like you have speakers in the dash

but thats just a quick trick he did end up building pods in the corner of the A piller for mote true SQ set up

if you do a 3 way set the 3 or 4" speakers dont need a ton of power xovered correctly those speakers should only be reproducing sound from around 500hz to 5k hz

I have also ran these they are 4 ohm and I liked them a lot

^^^I almost pulled the trigger on those but decided against since they were 4 ohm and didn't want to overpower them.

Do you prefer coaxil or components?

So you wouldnt bridge them on an amp is what you're saying? lol

I'm pretty sure alpine hasn't used coaxials since high school

[Broke_Audio_Addict]

There is nothing wrong with coaxials, they can actually be beneficial for Sq setups.

So if I order what you showed me, (probably will) what do I do about tweets?

[Broke_Audio_Addict]

What's your budget for the tweets?
