Pete what do you suggest I do instead of 6x9s?
if you do a search, you will find that a sub will damage the 6x9s and vice versa if installed in the same airspace (boot + shelf)
buy a decent pair of mids for the front, these are the speakers you LISTEN to, a sub is what you HEAR, by having a set of components up front the sound stage is brought forward, therefore creating a (in theory) fuller sound by fitting a set of full range speakers in the rear you are moving the soundstage towards the rear. this then creates a (in general) poor quality sound
rememer this, treble is directional, mid bass is on the majority directional and low end bass is non directional, when you go to a concert do you face away from the stage? i guess not, reason, the sound is clearer when facing the stage (oh and yuo can see the artist too)
in conclusion, all systems should have at least one amp, a decent head unit, a set of good quality front components and a sub. crossovers and a 2nd amp will also help, no moer speakers are required to create a good sound stage
