i know i posted this in another thread but i thought i should move it to the proper location.

set up: Alpine 9835 HU (3 way: sub, mid, high xovers)

orion xtr 800.4 for mids and highs

eD 6000 version 1 6.5's and cadence 1" tweets and rainbow 5.25's with 3/4" tweets

sub stage: RE 36.1 for a 05 XXX 18 tuned to 31 hz

i have a fullsize ext cab truck. i have a descent set of rainbow components that i wanted to keep in the rear, but if im goin to go active for front stage using my 4 ch amp i wont be able to have the rainbows in the back anymore. my HU only has 3 pre outs, sub, mid and high. i dont supose there is anyway to keep the rear speakers unless i run them off the HU speaker channels, (which i dont want to do) or run them parallel with my front stage? meaning ill run the mids(2 6.5's and 2 5.25's) on a set of channels and the tweets(4 tweets) on a set of channels. would this hurt the SQ?

also if i do go with just the 6.5's and one set of tweeters up front will they be enuff to stand up to the sub?

Just don't use rear speakers... then you wouldn't have the nasty problem of them pulling the sound to the rear...

ok gotcha. thanks for the input. i figured goin without those would be best. might look into getting some AA mids and better tweeters later. any tweeter suggestions? how does the rest of the setup sound?
