congratulations Payam,u got a very good system but if u drive the car ur self put those JBL GTO507 compinents in front door instaed of just tweeters.That will give u even better sound.

[speedzak]

Payam,
Nice install you've got.

Put the compos in the front door and remove the tweeters.

And as an upgrade, consider getting a 4channel amp and power the speakers from it.

Spend some time reading inside ICE section here and you'll get to know how to squeeze out the best sound from your setup.

hi speed
thanks for advise
i am planing to get jbl gto607 component for frone and keep rear as it is now and yes
ofcours one 4channel amp for drivin front and rear or tweeter.i am
spendin almost 10-12 hour in a day to reading all the posts
cheers friends

[vid6639]

Payam if you fit another set of components in the front your soundstage will be at the rear.
This is not the best way to do it. Ideally your soundstage should be at the front so it feels like the sound is coming from the front.
Your best option is to have the rear compos shifted to the front and future upgrade to a 4 channel amp and sub.
It will sound much better if you remove the compos.

hi dude
so you are telling me that with 4 speaker on rear i wont get quality?but tell me something i am plalning to get one more woofer dont u think the base will be too much with 2woofer and only 4speaker?
help me plz

[vid6639]

Not quality but your sound will be concentrated at the rear. generally the aim is to have the sound coming from the front.
Your planning to get another bass tube?
Instead of that try to get a 4 channel amp CS60.4. connect the rear GTO937 to 2 channels of that, move the GTO507 compos to the front and connect the other 2 channels to these compos.
Now your left with the 2 channel amp which you can connect to the bass tube.
Try this setup you'll get a good SQL setup rather than a SPL. it will sound much nicer.
