ive got 2 3.5" alpine type e speakers in my dashboard, and 2 6x9 jbl's under the rear seat, as i didnt fancy destroying the parcel shelf. Dont sound too bad, and yes you can run just the two off the headunit.

it will be 5.25's, but if you go on ebay... you can get your self a set of 6.5" mdf rings to raise them up a bit and fit 6.5s in the holes for 5.25... :wub:)
