I've just decided on my cars front stage and rear fill if you guys could. please tell me what u think
Its off of 2 MB Quart Component set's a RSB215 and a RSB218 the 215 has tweeters 5 1/4's and x-over's
the 218 has tweeters 6.5's and x-overs
and a PPI A404
I'm thinking about putting the RSB218 in kickpanels and then putting the RSB 215's 5 1/4's in the bottom of my sealed off doors with a little fiberglass pod to angle it up and more towards the center.
and then the tweeters from the RSB215 in the rear of my car flush mounted in the rear pillars to give my car more realism and some rear fill. and the front channel of a A404 is powering the RSB218 and the rear channel is powering the RSB215 fader and balence set at 0
what do u all think?

get the cheaper ones.... rear fill doesnt matter and personally, i wouldnt put componets in the rear... i feel it kills the soudnstage if you have rear mounted tweeters. just get a set of componet midbass drivers, this is what im going to be doing.. and i think it will work just fine. the componets up front should supply passengers in the rear with enough sound.. just aim the tweets at them while theyre there.... hehe JM 0.02c

If you already have everything purchased, then I think that it is a good plan.
If you are just laying out your shopping list, then I'd pay some heed to RDAEX. You could either put a decent mid-bass/range driver in the back with the accompanying tweaters in the front facing more toward the rear. Or, you could get a nice set of co-axials (Infinity Ref/Kappa, Kicker Impulse, Fosgate, etc.) for the rear fill.
Either way, you should have a very nice system, but it all boils down to how you like your sound . If you like it coming from behind as well, kinda surroundy, then go for it. If you like it up front, like the judges ask for, then I'd just go with mid-bass/range drivers back there.
Much luck,
ub

the only thing I don't have is the second component set.. the RSB 218 with the 6.5's
if I put 4 tweeters up front and 4 midbass drivers won't the sound just be too bright and wouldn't it kill my hearing.. thats why I was thinking about throwing them in the rear for the people in the back..
I seen some cars with switches to shut rear tweeters off for competitions but they have some back there so it sounded like a good idea to me..

Will it kill your hearing? Only if you crank it to concert levels. I mean, real, live, concert levels! I wouldn't put to much in the rear of the car, personally. I have 3 kids and a wife, and the only person that ever rides in the back of my car is my Rottweiler, and she doesn't seem to mind that there's nothing back there....
