I agree with Ryan's approach. To support my high-end Sony head deck I installed Don Steger's kick panel speakers. I also kept the dash speakers with a cross over to "fill in the sound". Six inch speakers are mounted in cut-outs in the rear panel along with the amp. (Mounting it here eliminates much of the heat dissapation concern.) The only other thing I added was a "small" sub-woofer which is placed in the cubby hole behind the drivers seat - - NOT to have my insides vibrate and to serenade the neighborhood, but to simply add a small touch of clean crisp base. All in all I am VERY staisfied with the setup although I know purists will cringe. But, since I do many many long distance drives, I wanted to be sure I have good sounds along the way.
