Ideally, the tweeters should be very close to the mid bass drivers for the front to insure the best imaging. But the dash location simply sucks in the C900's & it's much better to mount them under the dash like someone here did. It drastically broadens the sound stage :o)
But if you can afford the extra few hundred bucks, going with 5 1/4's or 6.5's in the kicks is much better. Depending on how elaborate you want your system to be, it'd really not much more to do kick buildouts
Dash speakers, $100
rear speakers $150
4/5 ch amp to run everything $300+ (5th channel to run sub)
='s $550 ish
or
kick speakers $150+
labor $300
2/3ch amp $200+ (3rd channel to run sub)
='s $650 ish & sound much much better
You simply don't need rear fill with this setup because it actually hurts the imaging
