I Think I am going to have to pull the dash anyways so I will be trying...
I am thinking my 5 inch components and tweeters in the dash and 6 inch and tweeter components in the rear stock spots with two 2 channel amps behind each of the rear quarter panels
no sub just high quality sound..
Boston accoustic speakers.
not sure what amps I am going to use yet thought

Howdy! The front dash mounts barely take a 4" standard chassis speaker. I just fit some Kenwood 4" into my mates 80q, barely fit. My 100mm Focals fit very well, old car ran 4" Eclipse and again a tough fit. You probably wouldn't want to mount them under the dash, imagine trying to replace, removing the whole dash? Plus the venting will most likely be in the way. The 4" speaker actually rests in the cutout, 5 1/4", I really doubt will fit well.
Cheers,

haha, best thing to do about dash speakers..

I bought some eclipse 89440 model speakers, which handle amazing amounts of power... Lesson: buy speakers which handle good power rather than larger ones.. Fitting some 5 inchers up front will leave you in deep regret. Trust me, I've pulled my dash about 5 times messing around with speakers.
If I had 2 2channel amps, I would:
run front speakers and tweeters off your head unit.. If you have a unit that puts out at least 40watts per channel, it'll be plenty.
Run your rear components off one of the amps.
Run a small 10 inch sub off your other amp.
= very happy in the long run.
Ps. the pic is of the 4in 89440's that I have in the front dash.... The speakers unscrew from the plate.
You can get them online for about $139 a set
