I am overhauling the system in my car as it's too much Bass. I am by no means a stereo expert but I am looking for a cleaner ( and not so loud ) sounding system. Mostly I am looking for the best way to bring some sound up front.
Lets start from the beginning. PO said he spent about $9k having someone install this abortion. From inside the car everything is hidden ( which I really like ). 4x10" Lanzar + 4x 8" Kicker Speakers all mounted to the rear seatback ( see the hack job pics enclosed ). In the front there are 3.5's Infinity ( old ) in the dash and some tweets in the A/C vents. The rear seatback was cut out and replaced with MDF. Then sprayfoam was put in all around to seal off the whole trunk making it one sealed box. This thing would thump enough to make your ears bleed and rattle the licence plate ( not really my style )
So late last fall I ditched all the MDF. I cut out a complete seatback from a Grand Prix Thank You to 81GrandPrix383 ( as a bonus they came with the add'l crossbracing ). I reinstalled the donor seatback using panelbond and bolts to reinstall overtop what was left of the original hacked up seatback.
I then traded off the 4x8" Kickers and parked 2 of the 10's and spent the money on some new 6x9's.
So here's the current setup
3.5" Infinity speakers in the dash ( old but still working )
3/4" Unknown Tweeter Speakers in the A/C vents
On their own Amplifier
6x9 Infinity 693.9i on the " new" parcel shelf
On it's own Amplifier
2x10" Lanzar in a sealed box in the trunk
The system now sounds much cleaner but I am still missing something up front until I really crank the stereo up.
So I have been looking at adding either the Lower Door panel speakers AKA ConcertII ( they seem very expensive ), and the Qlogic kickpanel speaker enclosures .
Otherwise I have been thinking of just cutting the orig kick panel speakers and installing some 5" or 5.5" speakers pointing straight at eachother just to get a "fuller" sound up front.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated

Sorry, had to be a smartass 8) X2 on the kickpanels!!
i'm not trying to be a azz but 9k for that setup was just a sale pitch i can't see no more then 1k for back yard job if he did get it done at a shop they rip him off i will see if bro still has his picture of his setup for 4k which was 4x10 oz audio 3x2000 amps 6x6-1/2 speakers 3 set of tweeter i no i'm missing some stuff but this setup would hit 150+ db and still had bass to go
