Food for thought- put the money from the rear speakers into the sub. I have my fade mostly towards the front as if you think about when you are at a concert, you hear the music the same way- in the front 180 degree of your hearing range. A sub will then provide the much fuller sound throughout the truck, and the thing you'll hear/notice the least will be your rear speakers.Thx guys thats all I needed to hear. Looking at throwing the HCX 165 6.5's in the the rear doors, and maybe the ECX 6x9's in the front doors with maybe some tweeters in the dash, All running off by a hertz amp(which one?). Combine this with a Kenwood Excelon DNX890HD, and adding a Hertz sub later. Do yall think I should do 6.5's in all 4 doors? Whats the mounting space needed for the doors in a 2011 Crewmax? I know the HCX's need 2.96 inches....

The sub will make much more of a difference in the sound, and you enjoy it much more than rear speakers.
Good Looking out guys. I'll be sure to bring this up today to the guys. Do I want to at a minimum put something in the rear doors? Just doesn't have to be the top line from Hertz, correct? Even though the front doors are 6x9, I've heard before to go to a 6.5" speaker in the front. higher quality sound from a 6.5" is what someone told me before. So with that said, and if I am on the right track, I should throw the HCX 165's in the front doors and something less expensive in the rear?Yeah, don't waste any time or money going all out on the rear door speakers, and have a really good front stage and sub.
With the time alignment on my head unit set correctly, it makes a world of a difference where the image is coming from. Even when switching from the custom setting to a "Front Driver" preset, it is night and day.
Thanks buddyI have the 6.5's in the front, expect their 2 way system (tweeter and crossover). Listen to both in the shop if they have them set up (HSK vs HCX). I left my rear doors stock- they sound better with a upgraded HU and amp, and more so- felt no need to put money into "filler sound" as all the detail was coming from up front and my sub.
Again, I like to set my sound up in more of a concert type mode, listening the music from the front 180 degrees, so that decision was simple for me. Setting the timing on the HU makes a HUGE difference- as jaxadam pointed out - even front single vs front both (only you in the car or both you and a passenger) makes a big difference. My wife even yells at me to "switch it back right" when she's in the car 'cause I'm selfish and always change it to the driver only set up
EDIT: FYI- if she has a movie on during a trip, I will put it in the full cab setting (passengers in all seats) as you get a great surround sound feel with the DVD sound set ups. This is when I'll actually hear the rears more, but again, just like your rear speakers in a surround sound- the background/accessory sounds.
no problem- just paying it forward... fortunate enough to have plenty of people push me in "the right direction"Thanks buddy
This is exactly what I did.I left my rear doors stock- they sound better with a upgraded HU and amp, and more so- felt no need to put money into "filler sound" as all the detail was coming from up front and my sub.

BIG SHASTA! you're close man. Did you do the white LED dash kit, and install the HID kits yourself? If so, I could use you're help. Maybe you could show me a thing or two...I was right there with you...Completely lost. I've never even heard of Hertz Audio Gear.
