I just cant really recall ever seeing any in the back before......im sorry if this is a dumb question guys but thanks for your replies anyway:)cheersshaun Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/63458-component-speakers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have standard sound system, and 3 kids so I need all my boot space. I was thinking that the 2 sets of component speakers might be a good compensation for not having any subs.

For SQ you would NOT fit rear speakers at all, just front splits and a sub-woofer. The subby should be rear firing and hooked up out of phase. If you want to keep rear passengers happy, fit some 5x7's to the rear parcel shelf but I would not run them when you don't have rear passengers. Hook up a manual power switch to turn the rear amp off on demand.If you can be bothered and if you have the time, then a DIY system is the way to go. Choose a tweeter, midbass and crossover from the many available. You will get something much better for a lot less money doing it this way. If you're going to get a component system, I personnally do not like Focal's in general. Go have a listen to some Morel Elate 6's. Very nice sounding and power handling is 200wrms. So big amp and lots of volume from a single set of splits. My 2 cents.
