2 mono amps- Bazooka ELA 500
now here is my question the concorde has 6 3/4 speakers in the door and I belive there is a tweeter in the door aswell and 6x9 in the rear deck.... I asked a couple of local dealers in the hamilton area what to do and I get different answers accourding to what they sell I would like an unbias suggestion... do i go with 6.5 comp in the door and 6x9 in the rear deck..or 6 3/4 comp in the door and 6 1/2 coixal in the rear deck..or or comp in the door and just mid bass in the rear deck... Pls help

How much money are you willing to spend? Your front speaker choice is more important than your rears. If you want to use rear speakers, 6x9's are just fine.

I don't care about the money for the speakers just want to match up with what I have now.

If you can, listen to the Boston Acoustics Pro60, Polk Audio SR, or the Alpine Type X.

My 2004 Quad Cab also uses 6 3/4" in the doors but I was able to easily fit 6.5" mid bass drivers in the factory locations, which is good because that makes your speaker choices endless. I mounted the tweeters low in the A pillars facing each other and the staging is very good.

I would get anything to fill the 6x9's to be honest, just get a nice two way component set for the front that will play low, install them properly, tune it properly so they blend well with the subs and you wont miss the rear fill one bit.
I have an 03 Intrepid, very similar interior and I have taken out my 6x9's and glad I did.
