lol Jeff, if I said it was a four door pick up truck, would that make sence??? Ok more research now looking at the Pioneer shallow mount 8” TS-SW841D I don’t seem to be able to find the information on mounting depth on the 8”. If it is the same depth as the 10” It will not fit in the space I have to work with If I keep with the idea of splits in the front, and only run a sub in the back will the passengers in the rear still get good sound?? ( this is why I was first thinking of rear speakers) And if I can’t fit a sub what options do I have to get good sound and bass in the back??? Thanks again Daniel

I feel strange. I have deja vu and amnesia at the same time.

Daniel: Try things without speakers in back. Forbidden will probably have the opposite opinion. But you can always add speakers to the rear latter, right? I would really try to fit a sub. Alternatives simply can't achieve the same bandwidth (easily). As for the amp. Try this: http://www.eclipse-web.com/amp/xa4000.html Digital, so you don't have to worry much about upgrading "the big three" right off the bat. To start out, use the first two channels for your front "splits." Use the second two channels, bridged, to your subwoofers. I also like that this amplifier has very flexible crossovers, so you're set even if your head unit does not have many options. It is pricey, but buy it under warranty and you'll likely never need or want to buy another amplifier. Good luck!New Project: 2003 Pathfinder

Thanks for the reply Kfr01 Looks like that is the way I am going Well this is what I got so far. I went with the Alpine CDA-9853 ( I like the Alpine gear and I am used to the systems, besides I got it at a price that I just couldn't say no.) MB Quart RCE-216 6.5" ( fitted in the coaxial option for ease of install) Amp and sub are put on hold ( the wife found out what I'm doing so just laying low at the moment) However still looking at a shallow mount sub, high on the list is the Earthquake SWS due to the total lack of space I have to work with the Pioneer and some others I have looked at are still to large. Now for some more stupid Questions from me. It was suggested to me that since I am only using front speakers chanels, I should wire my Splits using the 4 channels of the head unit, the woofers to the rear channels and the Tweeter to the front channels. Giving me the option of fading the Tweeter in and out with more ease. Is this a good option and if so are there any great advantages to do this. And when I get my amp do I then need to look at a 6 channel 2x woofer 2x tweeter and then 2 bridged for sub? Cheers Daniel

And yes my opinions are usually different. Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.
