Since I drive and am never in back seat and rarely have passengers who will appreciate the upgraded sound, I'm debating not even putting the JL C2-600W OR Fountek speakers, I just bought from semcoinc, IN the rear and leaving it as is. The Front speakers steal ALL attention.
Hi Clockwork,



However, with the caveat that I got a nice improvement in the rear door woofers by using the budget priced Dayton Audio units combined with C2 tweeters.

Likewise, I stream a fair amount of EDM and appreciate the new found crispness and clarity that the new mids and tweeters have brought to the party and the low end clarity that the C2s bring.

I don't ride in the rear seats either but I can hear the benefit of my modest speaker upgrade investment back there

PS: Thanks for the subwoofer wiring link. That was really helpful.
