Would this be a good idea...  I plan on putting a component set (Infinity Kappa 6 1/2") in the front door panels of my car.  Would adding a 6x8" Infinity component set in the rear deck cause sound imaging problems due to the fact that I'll have another set of tweeters in the rear?  I'm worried that the tweeter in the rear deck will cause sound problems by competing with the front tweeters.  Any help or input I'd appreciate.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

Think abut this: if you install a set of coaxial speakers in both the front and the rear of your car, what have you done?  You have installed 4 woofers and 4 tweeters.  Component sets: same thing.  Imaging is created by using the front set as the MAIN set; meaning your fade is set towards the front or your amplifier balance favors the front and by positioning the speakers.

I understand that.  I should have been more specific.  Would mounting the rear tweeters higher than the woofer cause a lot of sound quality problems?  Or would I solve this by fading the back out a lot?  I don't want it to sound horrible for people in the back seat though.

The people in the back seat would probably be happier listening to the front speakers only... I know I *hate* having a speaker right behind/next to my head.
Try listening back there to just the front speakers it sounds wayyy better than listening to just the front speakers sitting up front.
That said, proper rear-speaker tuning really ought not pull the imaging to the rear at all... your obvious solution is to simply remove the tweeter from the install. I mean, who says you have to install it? That way, you'll have a quality set of midbasses playing 100-odd hz all the way up the tweeter... prolly like 2.5 - 4khz... prolly lower on a set like an Infinity.. the Kappa series is *real* bright (I couldn't talk you into a different set could I?)...
Anywho, that way you'll reinforce some of those critical mids giving your music that critical sense of depth that rear-speakers provide, while keeping your soundstage firmly up front eh?
