Ok here's the deal, if i were to run the same speakers as what are in my doors in the centre of the dash, at approximatly the same path length to the headrest, how would this sound SQ wise?

Cheers

Is this for lsitening to Stero Music CDs or DVD playback?

If music I wouldn't waste the money on a centre speaker.

You would have to be running a dolby pro logic or pro logic II processor to get the most out of it. T-Bro has this setup in his car and is getting good results. I am looking at doing this in my car but I have been advised that the centre channel should be able to play down to about 80Hz. Problem is finding a combination of Focal utopias that fit in the space and play down that low :roll:

ive posted quite a bit about centre speakers, if you do a search youll find some info on how to get a centre speaker working. but the important parts are, a compatible decoder, speaker that can play low, and equalisation to blend the centre with the other channels.

Would installing centre speakers have any effects say for competition eg, soundstage and imaging?

Just making sure were thinking about the same things, placing the speakers in the centre is really an attempt to equal out path lengths., by the way this is more for just music rather than AV.

so basically, you're talking about having a pair of splits for each of the front seats, creating 2 separate front stages? thats what it sounds like, and if thats the case, then i'd advise against it... theres just too much that can go wrong...

everyone else seems to be talkign abotu runnign one centre channel up front with everything else (which i will vouch works well in tbros car)

however, if all you are interested in is equalising out path lengths etc, then i definatley recommend you look into time alignment head units.

good luck
