After talking to the guy in my home town air space in a car is very important. So one 8" may sound better than one 10". Also if you have a ported box most of your sound comes from the vent. The best sounding box i built the speaker was pointing down. That was the right sound for me. Also the guy told me this when you go to a concert you stand in front of the stage. You don't stand with your back to the stage so build your system with most of you highs & mids coming from the front of your truck. Who gives a crap what the people in the back think your driving your truck all the time make it sound good for you. Yeah fill in the back with sound but don't over power the back,again your not at a show with your back to the stage.
I hear you man. When I was a young'en, I used to look for as much wattage I could get. Til a car audio installer suggested I try Boston Accoustics front and rear connected to high power head unit and a small amp and sub. It is amazing what clarity and range you get with less than 400 watts. That being said, can anyone who got the JBL 10 or 12 speaker upgrade with subwoofer tell me how they like that setup? I have convinced the wife about getting one but she says at that price aftermarket no upgrades. I am used to pulling out the OEM stereo the same week I purchased it, but that was before Toyota hooked up with JBL. If sound is real good, I am willing to get SR5 and upgrade standard 6 speaker system.
