Let me see your component speaker install

I need to replace a failed Focal speaker in the rear door of my truck, and it looks like some of the better options are component speakers. If you've mounted a component speaker system in your rear doors I'd like to see what you did with the tweeter and crossover units. My truck is a 2007 Lariat SCAB.

Thanks,
Mike

I'm no expert but a component set of speakers are probably more for your front doors.

I've always lived by a rule that you want your high music frequencies coming from your front because highs coming from behind you kinda takes away front your stereo imaging.

Again, I'm no expert and I'm just going off of basic things that I knew back in the 90s when I used to install SQ systems in my autos.

In my 07 SCab I have a set of Focal 2 way components in my front doors and I have a set of 6-1/2" mid bass woofers in my rear doors. I have passive crossovers for my mid bass speakers in the rear doors that are set to mid frequencies.

Tweeter array

Door array

Mini woofers filling that acoustic hole.

I am looking for four of these wheels known as: W96008S, 96008 or W96008. The wheel companies think this particular style of wheel was owned by a pharaoh and looted from a pyramid in Egypt. If you have one, or more, and it or they are dull or peeling that is OK. Just no curb rash or deep scratches. I will accept PVD or chromed finishes but be prepared for me to pay a bit less because of the gamble with getting the PVD or chrome off the wheel in preparation for paint. PM me with a price and location and we will see if we can work something out.

This is the SPL curve I was chasing.
Here is a description of my array with pictures of one side: 6.5” Dayton Audio DC160-4 in stock location, 2 Techtonic 3.5” BMRs, 1” silk dome tweeter in stock location and .5” silk dome tweeter surface mounted 3” above stock tweeter. Custom 1st order Butterworth crossovers @ 70-975 hZ, 975-4800hZ, 4800-7800hZ, 7800-12,000hZ and 12,000hZ and above. There is also an 8” sub running from 100hZ and below with two 3” Dayton Audio RS75-4s in the B-pillar trim filling an acoustic hole between 275hZ to 450 hZ.
