1996 WS-6 TA.
Deck=Alpine 9813
AMP=just the deck 60x4 peak, rms is about 25w per channel I think
Speakers=Fosgate HPC2206 6.5" 2 way's(fanatic series-read these were good on this board)
& Fosgate FNP2614 Component 6.5"/1 15/16's(fanatic series)

Sub=Fosgate 10" Punch DVC
AMP=Kenwood 600W

Got deck installed and direct wire to power as per instructions. Have amp wires to trunk area(have sub thump enclosure ordered, for now using old box I have)
Speakers in car now are some cheapies, sony xplode and Pioneer(they sound ok but start to clip at high volumes ie 22+ on the deck)

Need help picking which Fosgates to put in the front/door and which to put in the rear areas/

Part of me thinks put the 2 ways in front b/c there is a tweater in the door anyway. And then I could put the components in the rear and have better highs all around??????? This way I think would be easiest to mount I think.

But again I don't know jack about stereos really, cept running power and wires :P
thanks for help/suggestions

Components always go up front. Replace that crappy stock tweet with the real deal.:) You don't want "all around" highs. High frequencies are very directional. Meaning you can easily tell which direction they are coming from. To create a solid sound stage, you want your music up front and center. Having higher frequencies behind the listener will draw the sound stage towards the rear. Oh, and if you haven't already, ditch the far rear hatch speakers.
