I haven't been able to find the answer to this question anywhere...

I have a 98 Sentra, right now all my speakers are blown because I upgraded everything but them.

I have a 12" JL in the trunk hooked up to a 450watt amp, it's pretty loud but it's not a permanent setup.

In terms of speakers I've been looking around and was wondering about putting mid-bass in place of my two rear speakers, getting nice sounding speakers for the front and replacing the 12" JL with two 10's.

I'm obviously still not 100% knowledgeable on everything there is to know about car stereo systems but I'm attempting to learn and was hoping somebody could tell me if this is an idea I should pursue.

My deck right now is a two year old kenwood, it's nice but it's not the best.

I have done that before in customer's cars and it usually ends up turning out pretty well. from my experience it sounds the best when you set them up at pretty low freqencies like 40-100 hz, and use a set of 12's.

The higher up in the frequency range you go, the more that it is going to distract your ear to the back of the car. If your just looking for loud good sound from everywhere, that isn't a problem.

Also, make sure that you have an amp on all your speakers, or you'll probably end up blowing them again.

The only reason I was going with the 10s is my car's the 1.6 Sentra and it already has trouble going up some of the steeper hills around my house lol

But thank you for your advice.

Well, honestly, the difference in weight is probably around 20lbs or so once you factor in the box and everything.
