Ok here's what I have.

Pioneer Premier DEH-P560MP, RF Capacitor, PPI 800.5 Amp(not hooked up yet), MTX 5400X amp, precision power dcx650 in the front door low and tweets up high, Power Bass 6.5 in rear towers and a JL 12W4 in an inverted fiberglass enclosure(sounds damn good) all in a 1991 Itegra LS Hatchback. I have a custom 6.5 inch enclosure in the front(just past the doors on the side down low where your feet are) and obviously a lot of room for speakers in the rear.

The question is what speakers in what configuration? If it was ur car what would u do? TY

Are you refering to the bass in the hatch area or the whole set up in general?

well i would say that if you have an amp not hooked up yet, maybe you should get that hooked up before worring about anything else

You described kick panel enclosures being where your feet are. Put your component set there, including tweeters. Tweeters should always be as close as possible to the midrange drivers. Buy midbass drivers and put them in the doors. Make sure everything is crossed over correctly. Don't put any more speakers in the rear.

Ahh ok I will set up the components in the kick when I get the Midbass drivers. Would a set of tweets down in the kicks and the top of the door be wrong?

Should I add more subs to the back like some Dynaudio MW170 or 180s?

Ty for the advice

Oh and I am merely gather equipment for the next stage. Even though the PPI is not hooked yet I was merely looking for an idea of what I should mate it with. Again thanks

I wouldn't add any more subs in the back or more tweeters up front either. Generally the best sound is obtained with fairly simple systems. Put the tweeters in the kick. They should be as close to the midrange driver as possible. Tweeters at the top of the door would probably cause problems you would need to process out.

As Kfr01 said, keep the driver's together else they sound tripy- everything seems out of time kinda.
