Yep, you did it again. Of course, this isn't off topic to me no matter what
list you sent it to.

Think Bigger for the rear speakers, and (much) smaller for the fronts. The
best place to mount surface speakers is to utilize the visor screws. I
prefer the center bracket mounts as well as the outer pivotal mounts and the
use of 4 small speakers , two for each side, in series. This cuts the volume
by 6db per speaker, which helps because really small speakers are more
sensitive and require less power.   Fabricate  brackets  if necessary, and
use the smallest dome type tweeter/midrange you can find. Get your bass and
mid range from the rear speakers. You might be able to supplement it from a
pair of 6" subs under the seat. You can seal up a small, shallow box easily,
and you can tune it by propping it up off the floor.
