Rear speaker upgrades isn't totally necessary if you have a really good pair of components up front. Why Kicker?

You may want to go 12s to balance out the bass. Kickers are good subs, but you still want to be able to grab those growling lows. You'll want to watch your ohms on your speakers too... make sure you are not mixing 8 ohm speakers and 4 ohm speakers front and rear.

I have a stock system with tapped MTX 12s, sealed, on a 800 Orion Mono and they will kick your head off in the back seat. I couldn't have been more happy with a tapped pair of subs. Sounds better than the Clarion system my cuz has going in his Mustang.

jus tmake sure you angle your tweets about 30 degrees towards you and not angled straight up. I would get some polk speakers over the infinity. Forget the rear speakers and spend the extra money on better speakers up front. Take a look at the polk momos. here is a link.

how often do you have people sitting in your back seat? rear speakers are useless if you are the only one riding in it.

Mine set about two inches below the back of my seat.... but mine is a 4-door... if its a 2-door I think the seat clearance is different.

Why would any of this matter??? he is running two different amps, so ohm load means nothing at all. and 10's can hit every single note that 12's can. infact, an 8 can hit every note that an 18 can.

the box for my two 12's is the exact same height as the seat. but it all depends on how you make the box.

im trying to make my new box shallow enough to fit under the cargo covering and fit over the wheel well. and its a 15" sub

yah i know what your sayin but if i want bigger i can just sell them and go bigger. another question is where do you guys mount your amps i was thinking on the back of the rear seat and i was going to take off that piece of plywood thing that closes that gap there when the seats are down is this a good idea? some pics of where you guys have your amps would be great thanks

I removed the rear seat and made an amp rack in its place - utilizing the stock bolts to secure the amp rack.
