I want mid bass 5.25 inch speakers without tweeters because i already have 4 stock tweeters which are really hard to change because there fitted all in the doors .... I was thinking if i could go with Alpine Speakers or if it will be possible to put 4 6x9 in the rear and disable the other two in the front ? Any Ideas ?

dont disable the fronts... if anything just run fronts

if you have all the speakers in the rear the sound will always be behind you and it wont be much fun to listen to. you should be able to track down some 5.25 midbass.. though really id just get a 5.25 component set instead then you can replace everything in the doors and have good x-overs for em

well this is worse then the sub thing... you totally have to listen to high range speakers... its such personal preference i know alot of people that love alpine but they just are a bit to harsh for what i listen to IMO, so what you have to do is get a few ideas in mind for what you think you would like and get out and listen to them with your music!

you are much better off using the x-over they come with because it is designed for them. i think if i was you id do a full comp set up front then just mid bass drivers in the back but thats because that is what works with my music... get out and do some listening then decide which ones to run and get a good after market amp for them. use the x-overs you'll be much happier in the long run

Sorry Guys I have to step in...
I haver a complet JL Audio sustem in my car and I love it. Its definatley not an spl car because I wasn't looking to build one. I want to listen to music not burp it for a tl for 2 seconds. Fraz if you want a good reliable sound system that you can listen to MUSIC loud. Go with the JL's. I have had many a system in my day and I have never had a problem with any JL peice of equipment.
And what you are paying for when it comes to the w7 is the sound. Sounds great, zero mechanical noise... you can have one sitting next to your head and not hear a flutter. As for as over priced JL is much cheaper than focal Utopia Be or Rainbows.
So if you want to listen to actual music and not a test tone than buy the JL's

Jo-Psyko what is x-over ? And i cannot change the speakers or anything in the front because it will wreck the interior alot of people recommended me not to change the fronts except changing them .... So is there any possible way to change the rears into 6x9's like can i cut my rear to fit them because there are already 5.25 inch's in the back but i want 2 or 4 6x9's .... I use to have them in my old car with one Premier sub , the speakers were 2 Pioneer 6x9's 200 watt RMS each and they were pretty loud btw the car was a hatchback . lol

Btw will a seperate Equalizer Help and if so which one is best ?

ummm by x-over i meant the cross over with components... heres a pic...



the boxes are the cross over they separate the frequencies to each speaker. and this would be strait up replacement in the front. replace the tweeters and the mid bass
