OK so full list of parts I have available to go into my Scooby not sure what bits to hook up atm:

Focal 165A Component Speakers + Tweeters (Front doors)
Standard rear Coaxial Speakers (Rear Doors)
Vibe 6x9's (Parcel Shelf)
2x MTX Thunder 10" Subs (boxed and going in boot)
MTX 4 Channel Amp

So Im obviously putting the subs, amp and front components in as this was the set up in my starlet. Theyre sorted with amp running off head unit and powering components and subs bridged.

Cant decide whether to use the other pre out on the head unit for the other parts. Could hook up 6x9's and coaxials, just 6x9's, just coaxials, or neither.

Any thoughts?

My feeling is the coaxials are going to distort too much and destroy the quality so tempted to hook up just 6x9's as theyre already fitted, but unsure whether its worth doing since the 6x9's arent great

i wouldnt bother with any rear speakers, other than a sub in the boot. concentrate on getting the fronts sounding nice, because you only really hear sounds in front of you,due to the shape of your ears lol. sound from behind isn't the way to get a good sound stage imho

True but trust me Ollie will hook up the fronts the way they should be and the subs you cant go wrong with since theyre in the right size and shape of box etc.

Still feel like something should be in the back for the rear passengers

in that case leave the standard ones in and fade it to the front unless you have passengers lol.i can switch mine off in a round about way through a feature on my head unit

I have got a fader control that I was planning to wire up to the subs as it was but might actually wire it to the other head channel and run 6x9's and coaxials off it. Good idea methinks
