I am sending the power 1000 in today(back in 2weeks) so now it is on to dynamat the truck and start with the front and rear speakers
So guys I am thinking about the pioneer premiers 6 3/4 separates for the front and was debating on 2 sets one doors and one kicks I have read on imaging problems with doing this.
I need help picking components, and set up of my front stage.
Should I do just one set or go with two
head : AVIC-D3
front : ******? x2 ?
rear : ******?
Subs : RF power old school 12" x4 if they still work?
Amp : RF power 1000 term ed
control: audio control DEQ
looking for general advice, Thanks
Dale

I definitely vote for one component set in the kicks. If you insist on mounting two sets, then mount both of them on the same plane, so that you minimize phasing and cancellation issues. One set of Premiers powered off of your MS should be more than enough... I wouldn't recommend running components off of deck power.
For rear fill a set of mids is normally all you need to get full range in the back seat as well. The treble tends to reflect quite a bit in cars, so you end up getting a lot in the back. Midrange is easily absorbed by seats and bodies up front, so I feel it can still be useful as rear fill. This is the exact method we used to install in Fuzzy's 1990 4runner; 6.0 RSD components in the kicks, 5.25" Dayton Reference mids in the back... and it sounds
fantastic.
4 subs will take up a lot of trunk space, which kinda defeats the purpose of an SUV. With 2 subs in a large sealed box, Fuzzy already lost almost half of his floor space (though I guess you can put stuff on top of the box still).
Check out his install thread:

It's one of the best sounding vehicles I've heard to date, especially considering there's no acoustical treatments.
