Default Need opinions on future speaker setup

After listening to mine, I was thinking about changing the speakers. Right now, I have 2 6's in the fronts and 2 6x9's in the back. After hearing it, the bass just isn't there for me and when i crank it up, it just isn't loud enough either.

So what would be your opinions on moving the 6x9's to the front (would require lots of cutting in the sills, that is if its even possible) and putting 2 10's in the back?

No. 6.5 components up front with 110 watts per side.

My CDT's at 115 watts will damage your hearing before distorting
my Focals at 115 wtts willl melt your eyeballs before distorting.

Is it aftermarket??? or the bose?
If after market leave the 6 X 9's where they are , and put a good 5 1/4 componant set up front with tweets.
add a 12" 10" or even 2 10" in the rear
add 1 or 2 good amps then there ya go

Hard to say when I dont know if you have the Bose or if aftermarket, then what brands you have.
:cool:
