Alpine Guy,
I have a 1997 Pathfinder LE edition, tell me if you need any more information. Anyways your suggesting setting up component speakers up front and setting up the 6.5" coaxial in the back, is this correct? Do you think I should cover the back panel with some dynamat to kill the rattle? Were you able to replace the stock tweeters in your pathfinder? I look and couldn't see a way to get the cover off. Please share what you did with your pathfinder maybe we can compare notes... etc.

You have to remove the whole panel that the tweeter grill is attached too, , it goes from dash to ceiling, , its just held there by clips.

You definately should get components up front, you will be WAYYY happyer, , im shure everyone here will agree.

Im guessing you have the blows (bose) system?  if so, , then you definately need to run all new wires.

Try the subs out first, ,then if stuff starts to rattle, take off the panel to see whats rattleing, see if you can dampen it somehow, ,or just cover it with deadening, , dynamat is not needed, , its too expensive, , brown bread is a cheeper/equivalent substitute..

the pioneer puts out 50x4, and you can get that much power by running a larger power wire to it, i think briging the amp is a good idea for the front, and the only thin i would change is the subs. try the 1241 instead, i think they sound better, but its entirly up to you. and deffinatly don't use dynacrap. over priced and over rated. use brown bread or fatmat. you just need to experiment with what you like, and set it up how you want it.

"ice4life8269"  There is no sound dirrerence between the 1221 or the 1241, , the only difference is resistance on the voice coil so you will have wireing options to squeeze the most out of your amps.   There the exact same subs, just 1 has 2 ,2 ohm voice coils, and 1 has 2, 4 ohm voice coils.

Read up in the "basics" section to your left of the screen on ohms law, and resistance, and such, it will help you understand more clearly.

my bad. with lower resistance in the coil doesn't the amp get hotter? and isn't a cool amp a happy amp? The heat affects the sound quality, and thats why i said that. if i am wrong, thanks for letting me know, but you should use a little tact before you jump down someones throat. If you read what i wrote, you can see that i said that's what i'd do, and it is up to him.

alpine guy, sorry if i was wrong....Review my to be setup - Page 2 -- posted image.

Sorry if i sounded like i was jumpin down your throught, , i tryed to word that as nicely as possible, , i meant to help inform you, , not shoot you down.   Your true that lower resistance will draw more from an amp, , but you see, ,every amp is different, , some are stable at 1 ohm, 2 ohm, or 4 ohm, , , , , , companys make dual voice coil subs so you can easily change up the wireing on your subs to suit the specific needs of your amp.
