If you set ANY comp set up right, you won't miss rear fill at all.
I'm in a 93 Caprice Classic with a good frontstage and subs, that's it.
The only time you even notice the lack of rear fill it when you sit in the back seat, which I never do, so why should I care.
With this setup he should have excellent midbass too, so he shouldn't really be lacking anywhere...

Seriously Poncho, now THIS time...your comments SERIOUSLY show your lack of car audio intelligence. You act like you know everything, yet you don't even know the concept or what an active setup is...HAHAHAHHA.
Ok, here's your car audio lesson for the day poncho:
On an Active 2-way setup you need a 4channel amplifier. Each channel of the amplifier powers an individual speaker. The three-way active xover takes care of all frequency distribution BEFORE it gets to the amplifier. It offers a highpass channel for the tweeters, a band-pass channel for the mids, and a lowpass channel for the subwoofer. (Everyone of these is fully adjustable) Therefore, my amps themselves will be set at full-range, because the ACTIVE xover will take care of all the frequency distribution beforehand.
Ok, so I hope you followed that...I tried to be as simple as possible.
The Coustic XM6 Active Xover is consider to be the best xover in it's price range. The XXX6.5" Mids are high-excursion mids, offering amazing mid-bass/mid-range output. I was looking into Adire Audio's Xtremis 6.5 mid (13mm one way linear xmax), but it is only offered in 8ohm versions (it also utilizes neodymium magnets).
Also, this active setup will walk ALL over almost any conventional Passive Xover Component Setup out there. Passive Xover networks are inferior, somewhat generic, and do not offer adjustable xover points like the Active Xover does, therefore you cannot adjust to the best sound for each individual vehicle.
So, this is the end of your lesson poncho...please feel free to stop in for another any day of the week

I used the passives that came with my CDT's ..... the satnet's are supposed to be really good and are NOT generic. Usually I prefer to go active though.

Tis true, I loved my 560 SatNET xovers on my CDT's. I'm not saying all are "generic" I'm just saying the it's one TYPE of passive xover for the ENTIRE line of components, (I.E. the 460, 480, or 560 for CDT)...so you obviously can't adjust them to taste in your vehicle...whereas you can Active obviously WOOT!!!
