Alright sorry this took so long. Here's the update. I tried out all the sets of speakers, the black diamonds did not fit front or back. I think if I cut some plastic I could make them fit but I didn't feel like it. I tested out the pioneers and the kenwoods. The Pioneers sounded a little harsh...

Thanks everyone. I think you all helped me decide to test them together before installing. I think I'll probably end up doing the Pioneers up front and the Black Diamonds in the back (if they aren't super difficult to make fit). The kickers also have the best resale value of all 3 pairs. But...

I really appreciate all of the responses so far. Thanks for welcoming a newbie into the forum.

Yeah I don't expect the super tweeter to do anything. Even if it does it will probably be out of human hearing range. Haha. So no Kicker CS fans or haters over here? They're so popular I thought people would start arguing about those.

So far it seems that most people are in agreement that 2 full range up front and 2 midrange in back is better than 4 full range speakers. Does anyone have any experience with any of these speakers specifically?

Yeah that's probably good advice. That would be the pioneers at 91db and the black diamonds at 93.4db (if I can make them fit)

Thanks for that info! I wouldn't mind doing some small modifications if needed. Do you think the black diamonds would fit in the back?

Do you just hate them because they're gimmicky or do you think they sound bad?

More random thoughts: I listen to everything so they need to be well rounded. Jazz, classical, metal, hip-hop etc. -All the speakers have never been used -The pioneer is the oldest but the build quality is the best. It also has the greatest frequency range and nice materials. It is hard to...

Here's the situation. I am building a budget sound system for my 1999 CR-V. There will be a 12" shallow Rockford Fosgate in the trunk with a mono amp. I'm installing a pioneer double din that is "50w" x 4. I think it's actually 14w rms x 4. I am not going to install an additional amp for the...
