The 12 inch sub is a Kicker comp. and I am running Boston Pro’s 61/4’s with bigeye tweeters at ear level {base of the A-piller}. The tweeter mount was critical, I tried the factory dash mounts and didn’t get enough reflection off the glass. If I didn’t have the existing equipment I would of put two 8 inch subs closer to the brace bar and used Focal separates instead of Boston even though I have always liked the bright sound of the Pro’s.

Right on! Regarding the tweeters: my POLK MMs provided plenty of sound reflected at the factory dash mounts so no complaints there. The components though do not provide enough bass.
Tweeters: Even though the tweeters at the factory dash mounts sound great, I added two additional tweeters (POLK DB) positioned at the center of the rear strut tower brace- it gives a nice balance in sound. (see pic)
As for sub, for now I am sticking with my Kenwood typhoon 10" sub. I will replace to a 12" shallow mount JL later.
I am receiving my MB Qart 1500.1 mono amp (West coast customs Edition) and Kicker 40CS654 bass drivers tomorrow. Then the wiring begins! Hope to have sound by the end of Wednesday.
