I have 07 dodge quad cab.In the fron Im running 6.5 inch CDT components.My question is...what would be a good choice for the rear(5.25 inch) for the best imaging(sound).If you never heard CDT they sound phenominal.But I dont need something to loud in the rear because Im just using for "rear fill".Any recommendations?I thought about just getting a pair of CDT 5.25" drivers but I dont know if they need a crossover when I get them...If I do need a crossover,what frequency would be good for rear fill?Or should I just bite the bullet and run them full range?

    Boston Acoustic Amp. About the Cab Speakers... Go with the same brand that you have in the front... You can set it up different ways... Again... This goes back to what kinda sound you are looking for... If it was me... I would go with a High/Mid/Low Setup... I am all about Sound Quality. I would get 3 different Amps for each pair of speakers... One for the Highs... One for the Mids... And, One for the Lows. Or, you can check out an Boston Acoustic Multi-Amp as long as you wire it right... Here is a link for it... http://www.crutchfield.com/p_065GT50/Boston-Acoust...
