Door Speakers.
Looking for new 6x8 rear door speakers in my 99 supercab. I have pioneer G-series speakers in my front doors and am looking for rear speakers with really good sound quality and really tight, accurate and good bass.
Would these be good ones?

High pass means the high's pass.
Low pass means the low's pass.
Provided your head unit has front, rear, and sub outputs, it will only apply high pass filters to the front and rear and low pass filters to the sub. Generally you'll want to set the high pass to about 100hz. That means all the music above 100hz (mids & highs) will play through the door speakers. Then adjust the high pass down until the door speakers start sounding distorted from the bass. Then set the sub to the same level (starting at 100hz) that will make the bass in the music play on the subwoofers. If the subs sound like crap adjust the low pass down.
You may also have to adjust the cutoff slopes which makes the high and low pass filters gently (or sharply) roll into the cutoff frequency. This allows some of the music that is just on the opposite side of the filter limits to pass by at drastically reduced volume levels. For example, music has a bass kick drum and a few tom drums that are really close in frequency but straddle both sides of the 100hz limit. You will still hear the toms in the subwoofer but they should be significantly lower in volume. The door speakers will play the toms full volume and you will just hear the kick drum in the door speakers also at a reduced volume.
Overall tweaking the filters and cutoffs make all the speakers blend together creating a good sound stage.
