    Default Rear doors, or Shelf? Adding to my setup

    Hiyas.

    So my current system is as below

    Alpine HU
    MB Quart Splits - front doors
    Stock GM speakers - rear doors
    Alpine 12" Type R Sub in ported box
    Eclipse 4 chan amp
    pdx 1.100 mono amp

    My question is, for the rear - should I go with 6x9's in the shelf, or some splits/singles in the doors at the back?

    Sitting in the back all you get is bass, and my mates car having back speakers has a better overall note.

    What do you all think? Im thinking just some 6" in the doors might be the way to go, but hopefully the people in the back will still not be overwhelmed with bass.

    Also, anyone know how to stop the parcel shelf vibrating? My boot has already been dynamatte'd.

    cheers

    Yeah, just 6's in the doors off the head unit... They are only for rear seat passengers anyway

    Yeah just go 6" coaxials for the rear doors running off the head-units' rear speaker outputs. It wont give you HEAPS clearer sound when sitting in the back, but you dont wanna go too far and start drawing the sound stage towards the rear.

    Everybody should really forget 6" x 9"s if youve got a sub/s.
