You are always better off to go larger in the rear. The bigger you can fit in, the better. You can fit a pair of Focal AC165 up above in the rear if you have one of these panels.

I have the 165's in the rear, PC 100 in the dash, an ibus 2.1 sub under the second row seat and Alpine ILXF309 9" screen for a head unit (no separate amplifier). You can't go wrong with the Focal's, they are truly worth purchasing. Excellent sound which can easily be heard when the 6 1/2"s in the rear, are up high. The sound can travel directly to the front of the 110, instead of into the backs of the seats, or hidden behind cargo.

I have been making these panels for about 6 years now, they make a big difference in sound.Having the LED's in the panel above the door is a nice bonus too.

This looks nice, but I am wandering, I have a 110 too and indoors we all know it's noisy during driving. How useful is it then to upgrade the speakers? Or should I also isolate the car too?
