6x9s in the rear?

6x9s in the rear?
Can we fit 6x9s in the back?
I haven't even purchased my fit yet, so I can't see for myself, but I like to plan ahead.
See, my dilemma is that I don't want to give up valuable storage space for a subwoofer, so I'm trying to find a way to get some really nice midbass. I'm getting Alpine Type X 6.5" components for the front and I was going to go with some 6.5" coaxials for the back, but if I can fit 6x9s I'd be much happier. I'll be powering them all with a 4 channel amp giving about 70 watts RMS

it's what everyone is recommending to me, I guess they have the bass and midbass output of like quadruple that of expensive 6x9s.

Have you heard the Soundsplinter RL-i's? Their RL-p had excellent SQ and put out some serious bass when needed. Do you think the Inf. Perf.'s would be around the same quality? I'm contemplating one of those Infiniti Perfect's in a 12x12x12 box with quick connectors so i can take it in and out whenever i need to load up the back.

I have no experience with soundsplinter I've heard mixed reviews on them. People that like them swear by them, others hate them. Problem with any online only retailers is service. For a subwoofer reccomendation an Infinity Perfect VQ 10" in a 1 cu.ft enclosure would give you all the kickdrum snap you can handle and still go low enough to handle just about anything. (with the mid Q plug). If your big SQ guy get a good amp that makes 4X100Wrmsor more. and just run the front components and the subwoofer and skip on rear speakers entirely.

I'm pretty sure it's a Class A/B amp, here's the wattage/resistance/THD levels, what do you think?
RMS Power @ 12.5v : Front Channels
4 x 100 @ 4Ohm @ 0.05%THD
4 x 55 @ 8Ohm @ 0.05%THD
4 x 175 @ 2Ohm @ 0.05%THD
2 x 350 @ 4Ohm @ 0.05%THD
RMS Power (Subwoofer Channel) @ 12.5v :
1 x 250w @ 4Ohm @ 0.09%THD
1 x 450w @ 2Ohm @ 0.09%THD
1 x 600w @ 1Ohm @ 0.09%THD
I believe the only inf kap perfs I saw were 4 ohm and dvc 4 ohm, I'd get the 4 ohm and run it parallel at 450w, which isn't a LOT of headroom, but I'm sure it'll sound fine, while my alpines up front(I think I might save up and get the SPX-17pro) would be getting the beautiful 350w each.
I take it you're not a rear fill man? Would you, then, leave the rear speakers plugged into the head unit(I think I'm keeping the stock HU and getting a 3sixty so I doubt I can turn off the amp in the stock HU anyways) and have front fade so that the rear speakers only produce a slightly hear-able volume?

why keep the rears working off a badly distorted signal? feel free to do what you will.
as for the nine.5 they are decent middle end amps the 4ch section is class a/b the mono section is a seperate class D amp. If your illing to save for the SPR 17 pro's why not dive into some Focal 165KP's? Which is a better speaker set. the nine.5 is more than adequate power at 100Wrms/ channel. Bridging it to the fronts alone will create stereo seperation issues and could add some crosstalk.

Do you know of any good 3-channel amps? Really and truly, $350 for what the nine.5 does is a hell of a deal, I should probably just stick with it, but do you know of any 3 channel amps in the same price range that might perform better?
