XmAx is the linear movement of the speaker, and in sound quality xMax isnt what you want to buy on, if you were doing Sound pressure then yeah, Xmax is a great thing. But i think he is going for sound quality.

My personal opinion for making any choices in car audio is to go out and listen to as much stuff as you can. Because for one person an infinity tweeter might be way too much treble, as where the next person might want more.

Hmm...

I've been told this many, many times. To go out and just 'listen to various systems' in cars. The in-store ones are ok - but they don't truly simulate the real environment of a vehicle.

Most of the people around here have only bass. That is only one part of what I am reaching for. I want to keep my vehicle looking stock - so that doesn't offer me too many ways to mount stuff or a wide variety of selection. The amp can be done under my rear seats, and the speakers mount right in the door holes (with mounting adaptor brackets -darn chrysler.) The tweaters go in my front dash - pointed at me - so the bass will be down low - and human ears can not detect the location of things at 20hz to 200Hz (don't quote me exactly - but it's something or other like that) so the lows can be in the door. I'm having a hard time trying to locate the mids. I've thought about drilling some holes in my door - but that takes away from the stock look (and it'll clutter up my door panels.)

Only time will tell where this will go...
