The way i understand it is that you really want as much sound as possible coming from infront of you. Usually you setup your system so that the low frequencies come from behind you as it is harder for the human ear to pick up the direction of lower frequencies. Splits in front and woofers in the rear with a low pass filter would be a better option.

Yep. But splits in the back for rear fill/passengers will work fine.

Either mount the tweeters on the rear parcel tray reflecting off the rear window, or if you can fit, hide them under the factory grills with the mid.

I recently did an install in a mates lancer. He had 2 pairs of the yellow cone Pioneer splits. Very nice sounding btw. I was so impressed I'm going to buy two pairs for my skyline once my wallet recovers a bit more. Anyways, back on topic... All we did was screw the tweater housings down to the wooden section of the rear parcel shelf with some self tappers. Bit hard to get started, but works great, and you can swivel them around to fine tune things. The 6" mid-woofers were mounted in the factory positions under the factory grilles. Sure to confuse any would-be thief.

As morlock says, be careful that you dont make things too bright in the rear. Your sound staging will sound a bit off. In the end though, tune it up to sound the way you like it. You'll be the one doing the most listening to it :D

Cheers,

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
