I have a few questions, one of them directed specifically to Mobilebeatz.
1) I read most all of the messages on this board, and being someone of this sort I've found that Mobilebeatz would appear to be the most qualified expert in most niches of the audio realm. One thing that you've reapeated over and over again though MB confuses me to some extent. You insist that the rear speakers aren't really necessary for stage in most applications. When I turn my rear speakers off I find that part of the music seems to just be "missing". Is this because I've grown so used to and fond of being surrounded by 4 channels or is there some other explanation. Don't go too crazy trying to explain this to me because no matter what I think I'm going to leave my rears in for now. I'm not after SQ king of the world title, nor anything remotely close to it. Factually I'm more interested in SPL that SQ, but am not about to give up SQ totally.
2) Its time for me to replace the components in my vehicle (not a 3/s). I drive a 1993 Ford F-150 extended cab with rear pillar 4x6's and 4's in the doors (hey, it rhymes, awesome). I have installed a box that takes up 2/3s of my back seat when in and houses 2 ported 12s for bass fill. They're in a easily removable box and are in only about 50% of the time. I will probably power the door speakers that I replace and possibly even the rears if it sounds like a good idea. My question is what speakers to get. I want semi high-end stuff. I'm looking to spend about 200 bucks a pair on both front and back. I'm definitely not looking for Rainbows, but won't settle for Jensens either. I'd prefer for them to go right into the stock locations without modification. I want them to play fairly deep for when my subs aren't in. Is this possible? (I want to hear the heartbeat at the beginning of "Wanted Man" by the Styx, and for anyone who hasn't heard this, I HIGHLY recommend it) Suggestions? Plates or co/tri/quad-axials for the back? Or nothing for the back and just run REALLY nice fronts with power?
Sorry about the long post. And for those wondering WTF is this guy doing on the 3/s forum, I'm getting ready, its coming next Spring. Sell me your black 94 TT in about March April.
