I'd go coax in the rear, theres no place for a tweeter, unless you want to drill holes for them in your door panels. I put components for the rears and for some retarded reason I put the tweeter with the enclosure forgetting that the door panel was gonna block the sound... and it did
Lol, hey it'd understandable you had loads of components being put in, not to mention all the custom work lol
Hey, I have major ADHD and sometimes simple details like that forget to cross my mind... Contradictory to that, I have a bad case of OCD so once I get the project started (even though its wrong) I wont quit LoL
HOWEVER, when a project is is thought upon correctly, it can come out SIIIICK!

I see that lol
think this is gonna be my last two questions before I set up to order everything tomorrow morning.
Wanted to check my wires are all checked correctly, went to best buy, the audio guy told me that I would need 3 sets of RCA some 16 guage speaker wire, speedwire, and then remote wire. Is that it? Also!
Are these the right adaptors?
Which one? http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?n...859968&alt=web

He's correct, you'll need 3 sets of RCA's (dont skimp out, quality does change the sound due to resistance factors) I never believed it as much till I experienced it myself. 16awg for speakers, I'd go 12awg or 14awg, thats just my preference (good good quality too) speed wire helps with install ease to have more than one set of wires in a single insulated roll rather than multiple. Remote wire ( you can go 16awg) but if you find the right RCA's, some actually have a remote wire already integrated with them, like this (random pic from internet):
The amp link didnt work, but reading the word "boss audio" makes me want to puke! LoL STAY AWAY! As for the adapter kits, as long as the component set you get is actually 6.5", you should be fine. I know my Focals are 6 3/4".
If you want to stay mainstream, Kicker, Fosgate and Pioneer are fine if you go with their higher end stuff. JL Audio should be just fine too, not sure of their quality after they decided to go with mass production 'bout 5 or so year ago.
okay so should i get the baffle kit:

Okay I'll look into kicker's kit and see if i could find anything on them.
Has noting to do with how loud it goes its about sound quality. most people dont know crap when they hear it. I payed $500 for my component sets and they arent the loudest, but sound better than anything I've heard in the car. Sure plenty better when you demo, but lots of money involved there. A better quality setup will pick up sounds that cheaper kits wont pick up because they're just made to be loud. Go to a REAL car audio shop (no not a mom and pops or a best buy) they'll have a set up with comparisons of entry level to top of the line components all connected to the same single receiver and same exact amp and you'll be amazed on why certain speakers are made of certain materials.
For the price you're willing to go with those Kickers, I'd recommend a set of Focals or ever Hertz audio. Their entry level stuff will blow away a lot of mainstream component flagship set ups.
Most importantly, you MUST shop around in person and actually listen to these brands to compare. I was sold on Focal all day long (still am a fan) until I heard the complete line from Hertz Audio, simply amazing! (If you go to the right spot for the demo)
Too bad our cars dont have rear deck 6x9's, I totally recommend Focal 6x9's over the 10" woofer you want to get. I put a set of them in my drag cars rear deck and a few people thought I had a pair of 10's back there! I was amazed on how much bass I was getting from them in an infinite baffle set up. And they were coaxials so you got a full range sound with the bass.
