I just got a set of the JL XR650 Csi 2-way components. I bought them used for a good price, and they're in good condition. I just saw a post about a second set for about the same money, also lightly used.

My question is this....
I can get a set of Components for about the same money that I've see the coaxials sell for (good prices). I plan on using a set of components in the front (no doubt there), but am wondering about the rear. Should I:
A) buy the second set of components and use them in the rear, mounting the tweet in the factory hole with the woofer
B) mount the woofer in the rear w/o the tweeter
C) mount the woofer and tweet separately, similar to the setup I'll have in front
D) just buy the coaxials?

I'm wondering b/c I've heard the comps will sound better. I've also heart that it's a bad idea to mount tweets in the back. I've heard all kinds of crazy stuff.

Keep in mind that Coaxials or Components are both JL XR 650s and they are both pretty much identical in cost with the deals I found. Actually, the Components are lightly used and cost a little less than coaxials and I already have one set of XR 650 2-way components.

Thanks Guys

 

Come on guys....
I need some sound advice here.

I know, bad pun.

 

A lot of people here don't run rear speakers it seems. When my setup is finished I won't have rears because I will be out of amp channels.

I would mount the mid only. Use the crossover that comes with it. Lower the rears by at least 3 db and you will be fine if you want fill. If you don't care about having the sound coming from in front of you, run full power.

 

You don't want tweeters in the rear of a car. It will sound like the sound is coming from the rear of the car. You want the sound to sound like it is coming from the front. I would only put a mid in the back. I usually just buy seperates because you are able to mount the tweeter where you want. Ideally the mid and tweet should sound like it is coming from the same place for best imaging. But since in a car the speakers are usually on the floor this is not the best place for a tweeter. The JL coaxials sound pretty good. I used coaxials in my car because I did not want to cut hole in my door.

 

Well, I won't have to CUT a hole in my door panel to mount my tweet. I'll mount it in the factory hole. So, my woofers and tweets will both be in factory holes.
