2-2.5 cuft @ 32hz works best for housing that driver!

do you have an amp on your now? If not would make a big difference.

no amp for the front speakers and stock 6x9's in the back. the HU puts out 50 watts to each speaker though

Meah, I doubt it - more like 20 or less RMS, get an amp and be happy.

I still love my type-r's. The tweeters and 6.5 both did best on-axis. They like power so I was feeding them 100 watts each. I was using the MRP-F600.

You really only need to amp the front speakers.

[bigmikekc 2]

You really only need to amp the front speakers.

yeah i was thinking type s 6x9's in the back no amp and type r 6.5's in the door with a 2 channel amp that does 100 watts per channel. what amp would be good for that?

You don't really need back speakers. Save the money and spend it on your front stage. I personally would buy the MRP-F300 and bridge it to the fronts. Any amp that does 100 watts RMS x2 @4ohms will fit your needs though.
