Ok, right now i have Diamond Audio HEX components powered by a Kicker 200.2 watt amp. I have some Kicker components laying in my garage and a kicker 120.2 watt amp. Thinking of putting that setup in my car to have two components. I dont consider Kicker as high quality as Diamond Audio but u guys think its gonna sound ok having both setups in the car at once?

Also where do you recommend putting the mids at? I seen someone put the tweeters on the back pillars but not sure where to put the second pair of mids.

All feedback is appreciated.

I have some tweeters on my back pillar too. I place a pair of 6X8's on a board and mounted then in the little ski shoot area that leads to the trunk. Its also being used as a port for my subs. It works great. I have my my bose rears hooked up to my radio too. Up front I have kicker resolution tweeters and coaxils in the doors.

 

any pictures of your setup? not familiar wit this slope leading to trunk. PLease explain further

 

I'll get some pics. In the back seat you have the arm rest. In my car, the panel behind the arm rest leads directly to the trunk. I have the speakers mounted from the inside of the trunk facing in the cabin, with about a 2 in gap from the bottom of the board used as a port.

 

dam that soudns too concealin and wit subs in cabin wont it over power the mids? so they are basically rendered useless?

 

Not to me, but thats subjective. It also depends on where you have your mids crossed at, plus its basically for rear fill. My fronts by far are my source of music.

 

well it depends on how you want your imaging! when you add too much in the rear you take away front imaging. if you are into SQ you should either take out rear speakers or have them in there for the rear passengers but they should be considerably lower than the fronts. As far as putting two sets of comps in the front this could help or hurt, depends on where and what angles you put them. Usually you would want to put MIDBASS on the kick panels and one set of good tweets also.
