components in the front = good
components in the rear = bad

usually u get a component system that has a midbass driver the same size as your normal speakers - just replace your stock speakers with those. then find a place for the crossover, such as inside the door. then find a place for the tweeter, such as your sail panel, the factory tweeter location in the A pillar, or the door panel

in the rear - just get a pair of coaxials and replace your factory speakers.

also

what sort of "mid/3inch tweet" are you looking at? that information would help narrow the information we can provide you for your installation

so - you're using coaxials right now? or ure JUST using the midbass speakers?

is it a component system? (tweets, midbass speaker, and crossover in one package)
if it is, why arent you using the xovers and tweets? where are your highs coming from?

this has all sorts of confusion built into it....
please further clarify, include model numbers

Well, infinity tweets will do that to ya. What kind of HU do you have? You should just be able to get some new tweets and redjucts the x-over on the HU.
