Hey!!! Great idea! I'm planning to build a center console anyway, to

Cool, thanks for the advice. Now, the question is, with all these front
mounting positions open to me now, :-) what is the preferred setup for a
speaker system? Should I use 3 ways in the front, or individual lows,

I assume I'll need an enclosure too?
Thanks everyone for all the help so far! :-)
