Audio Set up question
So im looking at setting my system up. I mainly listen to heavy metal\Death metal and or rock with very fast bass and guitars etc. I want to get a nice sounding system. My current set up is
1 Boston 10" G3 Sub with Zenclosure
set of Alpine R Type Speakers no tweeters.
1 500watt Alpine amp for sub
1 400 watt 4 channel amp for speakers
Pioneer AVHP2300DVD
Wondering If its worth running rear speakers alot of people say no let me know I want something that sounds good right now its ok

I don't run rear speakers and I have a similar set up. They're pretty much blocked by the seats. I would put the money towards a nice set of components for the front. For better sound quality look into custom kick panels and/or a-pillar mounting your tweeters(down by the dash, close to the windsheild). The tweeters sound quite harsh in the stock locations. Mine are in the stock locations and even though my head unit has time alignment, parametric eq, and crossovers(with attenuation) they are still too harsh for my tastes.

He has done many Z's and G's. His work is top notch IMO.

Your money would be better spent on components, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have some speakers for rear fill. You've already got the 4 ch amp. Throw some components in there, and move the door speakers to the rear.
Also, I've never installed components in a Z, but the general rule is to have the tweeters at ear level.

which begs the question.. who cares?
get good stuff, put it in the stock spots, roll on down the road and be happy OP.
i know i know.. i kinda do care about hte sound alot tho too.. but...
what i do agree w is that im all about really good head...units.
and im all about really good speakers too.
Im not a sound off competitor, so yeah, i want all four speakers playin, albeit less loud in back.... i like my car to sound good, but to be fun as well...
OP, buy the absolute best speakers you can for the fronts, buy something decent for the back like some Alpine SPRs.. and maybe rock some wicked CAS pods... i sure like mine.
your sub does little to the overall impact of your music when compared to what a great set of fronts and a fantastic deck will do for you.
good luck dood.
