just wondering would the 4" pioneer TS-E1075 be any good for SQ as i dont really want to make custom moulds for the front doors...?

Depends on your idea of SQ. I wouldn't say a 4" is capable of the kind of SQ I want - to me it would be in low range.

But if you like the way they sound and are happy with it then go for it!

Da'flea.

unfortunately your car's speaker locations are located at about knee level and pointed at the floor which isn't conducive for SQ...I would suggest building some pods which will not only allow you to install bigger drivers but put themmwhere they will sound a lot better...there are plenty of people here to assist you and offer advice...why not take full advantage of it and get stuck in and build some pods...

for that size.. 4inch is not really ideal for SQ because 4inch speakers wont produce enough midbass for your liking.. and voice reproduction wouldn't be that great either...

if you wanted SQ go for like 6.5 splits..

I agree with the comments so far regarding 6.5" splits for SQ building pods etc.. but it depends on how much time your looking to invest in the system.

I have a 3 way focal Utpoia front stage that i worked on for 2 weeks solid , but i appreciate that not everyone wants to invest this sort of time.

I installed a set of kenwood (i know i don't like kenwood either) into my wife's 91 corolla with the speakers facing in an undesirable location firing down. I found that the sound was quite good (for what they are) even when just driven from the headunit. Not exactly my focal's but much better than standard. What i did like and i know a number of brands now offer this is a 4" with the tweeter on a bridge over the mid not on a pole through the cone. I found this produced a much nicer sound than say the Pioneer 4". These speakers wern't that expensive either (from memory around $80 - $100) and they also have a very compact neodium magnet which is good for shallow mounting.

I think 4" from Schneider that you saying, never heard the sounds, but if you really wanna put 4" for sq goal, try 4" splits from Boston rally series.

If you wanted SQ i'd go towards a decent pair of 4" splits like the bostons....but don't expect the output to be much louder.....if output is an issue then go straight for sum 6.5's
