Speakers for back door

[JohnG]

I'm researching speakers for my 07 Runner and wonder what everyone is using for the back doors. I thought I'd get a set of good coaxials, but Crutchfield lists very few which will fit in the back door.

Should I just buy another set of components and use only the woofer for the back doors? Or is there another solution you would recommend?

I'm wanting to use a 70-watt, 4-channel amp to power the front and back speakers, and I'm considering the Polk MOMO (MMC 6500) components for the front doors.

Thanks a bunch!

John

I have MBQ components co-axially installed in the back doors (reference series 6.5").

Due to the location of the speaker in the rear, you really cannot hear much in the front seat ie sound is fairly low.

If I had to do this again, I would have bought a simple Coax for the rear and left the components alone.

The other option is to cut the door and install the component tweeter on the top which makes it closer to the ear of the front pass and driver. It may make a difference there.. but is it worth it ? I dunno.

run the momos up front, and get the momo coaxils for the rear. You will have a very clean audio setup.

What amp were you looking at purchasing?

Thanks for the replies, guys. Will the MOMO coaxials fit in the rear doors? What size?

I'm looking at the Alpine MRP F450 (I think) 70x4 amp. I'd love to add a small sub some day, maybe one of these mini stealth boxes with a shallow 10" sub so it wouldn't take up too much space.

Where is the best place to put an amp in our Runners? I looked under the front seats the other day and with the power seat and heater wires, there didn't seem to be a lot of room, and the floorboard looked uneven. I guess the back of the rear seats is a better choice?

Thanks again,

John

5.25" speakers will fit in the rear with an adapter plate
