Hey guys,
Im thinking about installing some speakers and a single sub woofer in my Tahoe sometime soon. I want some help choosing the best matched components for the Tahoe.
I want to use a two way component system in the front with a 6.5" woofer in the door and a separate 1" tweeter in the A pillar. In the D pillar i want to do a 3.5" or 4" 2-way midrange. In the rear door i want to install a 6.5" 2-way or 3-way. A 4 channel amplifier should cover this right? How would i go about wiring the rear door speakers and D-pillar speakers to the rear channels of the amp. The front is easy since the component system includes a crossover.
Here is a list of components i am looking at:
Front:

Rear door:

Sub amplifier:

If anyone can help me decide on rear door and D-pillar speakers and how to best wire them that would be great! I just don't know whether a 3.5 inch or 4 inch is easier to install in the d-pillar, and whether i need a 2-way or 3-way door speaker when i already have the d-pillar speaker.
I am planning at this point on using the factory double din stereo. I know i need a harness to add after market amps but what else will i need?
Also whats the difference between the 2 sub-woofers? VQ or DVQ?
I really like what Gambler did with his sub-woofer (http://www.tahoeforum.com/showthread.php?t=8229), but i am not willing to give up my center console space. Anyone else have suggestions for an aftermarket sub while keeping it factory looking?
Thanks everyone.
