I assume you're talking about the 4's under the stock speaker grill in the upper center of the dash?
what about the panels that go on top of the kick panels? You don't cut your kick panels out.....I actually have a pair somewhere....they are abs and you cover them with some material to match your seat or door panels and cut out the speaker hole....that would be 1000% better sound than a couple 4's in the center of the dash. I'd do 6 1/2" components with the tweeter aimed up on the kick panels and something still in the center spot to really round out the sound...
As far as sound quality those other speakers under the seat won't do a lot for it other than adding volume. I'd recommend to go with 6x9's in the rear cab corners...there are a few people making brackets for back there and one vendor on the board.
I think the bass speaker is a good idea....you don't have to rattle the truck....but as you mentioned...it will fill out the sound and allow the smaller speakers to do their job without having to try to replicate the bass if you can set the crossover cutoffs correctly... |
You think you could locate those panels for me??? Sounds better so long as i don't have to hack the truck up. And yes, I was talking about the little 4's for under the dash in the center location above the deck. I just need to get going so I can button all the ac lines and such together. I sure as heck want all the wires done before I pull the ac vent tubes under there.
I still have the gas behind the seat... no room for a 6x9.
