what bass do you have in the rear.
I have no dash speakers so will probably put two more in the rear with the sub

thanks

Some 5.25 can be fitted to kick panel location behind the panels.
A mounting plate must be used to separate the front from back sound waves to prevent cancellation for better bass. The speaker should be solidly mounted so that the movement of the speaker cone is translated into sound rather than any movement of the speaker. If the tweeters are separate or adjustable, tilt up & back towards the center.
Amp. can go in center back storage compartment.

The bass in the rear is the Blaupunkt 8" subwoofer. I chose it because it has an integrated amp: no need for a separate amplifier.



It draws power directly from the battery.
