Oh one last thing, there's also a sharp drop off with the speakers/setup which starts at 5000Hz and at  12500 Hz there's just about nothing.  Now I'll admit over 16K isn't all that necessary for myself but...

I hear ya about the 4 speaker thing, it's a process.

I really had limited controll over the sub with the rear speakers on, unless I sent more to the back than the front,  Where the stage (and instuments) are supposed to be.  It sounded fine, but like I was facing away from the performance.

What are you thoughts about kicker panel enclosures.  From what I can tell you go from a 6 1/2" speaker to a 6 1/8" at best, but at least it's facing you not your ankles.

I would go for a full Alpine speaker setup. Might be expensive but there very powerful.

Pionner are better than sony headunits coz you have more control over the sound setup. Look for a headunit with 2 more more RCA outputs. ;)
Also with a good pioneer system you can have all the speakers running without fading the sound to the back.
