Oh, my system I find satisfying, and the Alpines up front don't disappoint. It's that "wraparound" sound I'm missing with the top down.

Rockford Fosgate Power T400-4 Amplifier frunk mounted
Eclipse CD 5425 Head Unit
Alpine CHM 5620 6-CD changer frunk mounted
Kenwood KSC SW11 Subwoofer 150W passenger foot well mounted
Alpine SPR 50C 180W dash mounted front speakers
Crossfire FX52 100W deck mounted rear speakers (removable)

Nice setup! Thats the difference with an SQ system goal is to maintain a front sound stage. I have one piece mmissing, my subwoofer. I have a bose passenger footwell enclosure being modified to hold 8” pioneer sub to connect to 5th channel on Alpine pdx 9. I have active config with 3 way component hertz mille, 1.5 tweets, 3” mid in dash, 6.5” doors. Plenty of bass as is but want that sub to finish.

Anyway, you probably need to enclose your rear speakers if you mount in the hump.

Thank you. I'll admit... I had to look up what was an SQ system? Even then I was uncertain if my system qualified. Good to know.

Cheers!
