One thing my systems seem to lack is good, punchy midbass. I'm not
really big on sub-bass. I figured that out through trial and error. I
don't like bass that shakes the car. I like the 80Hz - 150Hz kind of
bass. I recently bought a small hatchback, and I'm now in the process
of designing my next system.

Here's what I was thinking about doing:

1 pair of 6.5" components in the front doors
1 pair of 6.5" midbass drivers in the rear seat side panels
1 12" subwoofer in a sealed enclosure in the rear hatch

There will be two amps - I just haven't decided on which ones yet.

Now, I am wondering if having some midbass coming from the rear seat
side panels would affect the overall imaging of the system? I was
thinking about having the rear midbasses only play 80Hz - 200Hz. Would
my midbass improve by doing this?
