I find that the combinaison of 150w pioneer 4x6 in front combined with
pioneer 6x9 200w mounted in the rear shelf is a great com,binaison of base
coming from the rear and mid-trange from the doors.

of course this is all peak power ratings so calculate 75w front speakers and
100w rpm (probably lower than that actually)
running on a CD deck of 65wx4

never makes the speakers "trumbonne" (ie: over bass itself or over tweeater
itself.)

I agree... the 500w souround sounds system is much better in teh living room
than in the car.
