Subject vehicle is 92 LX Hatchback.
I have a new JVC head unit to install in place of the factory cassette player. I have the correct plug and play harness and 4 new speakers. 6.5" round for door panels in front - 6"x8" for rear side panels.
I know that in the past car stereos were set for rear sound stage and that they have switched over to front sound stage these days. I wonder if the 6x8's have more potential for umph than 6.5 rounds. I bet the default arrangement in the new head unit will set it as front sound stage. I wonder if I should switch it around to make the rear more prominent based on the larger 6x8's that will be back there.
So, if I wanted to do this, and considering I'll be using the currently installed factory speaker wires, I suppose I would have to switch the speaker wires at the harness behind the head unit.
Does this make sense? What are your opinions on the matter? Should I shoot for front or rear sound stage?
I am aware that if I switch it, my fader control will be reversed but I can live with that.
