ORIGINAL: souron
it depends in my '85 i wanna put in some good 3-ways for my rear speakers, wich will have a low-pass filter on it, but those are really just to complement my subs, and i'm putting a 6" component set in my doors with with the tweeters in the dash, it should sound sweet ***, the rear speakers arent going in for awhile though

I have always loved 6x9s because of the sheer volume of them. My friend had a set of 6x9 Kenwood excelons, and on a smaller amp (200a4 vs 400a4) they were still louder than my other friends top of the line rockford componets.
At one point I was running 4 kenwood 6x9s on a 400a4, along with a set of kenwood 6.5" componet speakers. The 6x9s, even one pair, absolutly blew them out of the water, and cost less to boot. But I do have to say that the componets did sound more clear.
BTW on a stock setup I dont think I would get componets, unless your car came stock with amps. Without amplification components are usless, even with an aftermarket head unit.

I personly like the pioneer 3-way 6x8's for the back. They aren't very expensive for the high-end ones (about $65) and they sound great. 240w max 50w RMS. when you build a system look at the db rating on the speaker and th THD on the amps...those are the two biggest factors in sound quality. If you have the MACH audio package I wouldn't get components for the front since you already have tweeters. What head unit are you using? does it have a built in amp (if your using external amps what is the voltage output on the headunit for the amps)?

Maybe one of these days I'll write up a post on Everything You Wanted To Know About The MACH 460.
