Good to hear you got it all working, I'm glad you're opting out of 6x9s :)

I've no clue what the immobaliser thing is about though, I mean the security feature as standard on mine is the steering wheel lock and that's it, however I've got a better system than that in there now ;)

need 6x9's for good quality sound, door speakers dont have the same sound range as 6x9's.

sony dont make any good speakers btw, go for infinity or alpine. i advise paying more for good speakers, as you will just end up upgrading if you buy cheaper speakers. i bought type e alpine custom speakers, but while im over here in the states, im going to get type r speakers, ohhh yeah. type x or jl audio if they sell it lol

always thought some decent mids with goot seperate tweters were better than 6x9s

 but i suppose its down to personal opinion , ive got some 5" mids and 2" tweeters ready to mate to 2 12" subs , all rockford fosgate stuff, just hope it sounds nice , dont want thump prefer SQ than anythin else

some mids with tweeters and crossovers AND 6x9s. just lots of peeps think 6x9s are chav and that you cant have 6x9's in your shelf with subs, as the subs distort the sound, but thats not true.

but it is down to opinion i guess.

Il second that, 6x9's are NOT speakers! first of all a speaker is ROUND for a reason, it emits clear sound, 6x9's product bass aswell as vocal lines, Which eliminates the need for a sub (not as much obviously). A sub is there to take bass AWAY from components to allow them to peak with VOCAL drive.

ROUND Speakers FTW!
