My current setup is a Pioneer Premier DEH-740mp, Diamond Audio Hex s600s, JL 300/4. I would like to get some rear speakers after hearing them in a friends car. Any suggestions what will go well with the current setup? I'm going to purchase it from lucid's website of course. http://www.lucidautomotive.com/rssys/

Forgot to mention I would like to power it off the amp as well, and I don't think I'm going with subs in the future, due to trunk space needed.

shouldn't be a problem, but are you sure the current amp is running in 4 channel mode right now? sometimes they bridge the JL to two channels for higher output.

 

I'm in the process of adding Kenwood Excelon xr601's. I've got the panels cut and the speakers test fitted. They *JUST* fit -- not surprising Lucid doesn't offer 'em for the rears! I had purchased a set of memphis studio coaxials, but the were a hair too big. I'll let you know how I like the Excelon's after I have a day or so with them in place. Time to go run the speaker wire and hook them to my amp.

I thought I'd give y'all an update on the rear speaker install and my first impressions. Sorry in advance for the long post...

I finished the install and went to bed about 12:30 last night. I had the speakers in and running about 11:30, but spend the next hour fiddling with final adjustments, cutting the mounting screws so they didn't hit anything behind the panels, and putting my passenger seat back in. I'm quite happy with the sound, but have severe vibration problems with the left rear panel on bass hits -- I'll hopefully fix that tonight.

With the top up I had the fader almost full forward and it sounds quite good. They provide a subtle rear fill. With the top down, on the way to work this morning, I returned to a 'centered' fader and that

 

Good to hear. I have the 501's on the way.
