Couldnt tell ya off hand BUT I think theres somebody on here that makes a conversion kit to put in 6x9's in the back corner and that makes a big difference.

The only problem is there are no really good replacements for the 4x10 and they can't handle nearly as much power as a 6x9 before distorting.  You should grab a set of 6x9 brackets from bigblock73 next time he's offering them or make your own.

yea I would think 4x10's would really be a waste myself, I did see someone(won't name other company) makes a bracket to for 2 4 inch speakers to go in the middle of you're dash where the single 4x10 speaker went.

I have a kicker 4x10 in my dash that works very nice but a 6x9 would probably be better if you are willing to spend the extra time and money.
