You probably will. I don't think Elemental Designs makes baffles (spacers) for the rear quarter panels though. They don't specify on their page, which would be a great help.

Nope, just front ones.

That's why they're listed as Front Door baffles

Didn't make any for the rear because...well...we seem to have all "misplaced" the rear speakers.

Har har har.

Hey Chris, do you ever get my PMs? I know i'm like a dog humping your leg, but you've been the most help to me out of the people i've talked to, and i'm trying to work the last few tiny kinks out of my coming install.

You are going to need the spacers for the rear that Alpman sells. Look at my post on the last page.

well considering i just put in a new system in my tc, i went all alpine type R. the person that said that 5.25" in the rear i have 6.5"s in the rear. Usually when you match speakers and the deck made by the same company everything just seems to sound a lot better. i have a PDX 1.600 amp and a Type R 12 in the back and it hits harder than enyone will need, but with the type R 2 ways in the rear and Type R components in the front it sounds amazing...the only thing wrong with my system is that i have a Pioneer AVH-400DVD touch screen in the dash and its getting way too old for the new demands of car audio...

The fronts are a component set in the 2011 TC. The bottom ones actually house a 6X9. Shine a light into it and you will see. The mid is a 3.5 inch and the tweeter is a 1 inch. The rear is a 5 1/4 inch. If you want good clear sound, get a 3 way component set for the fronts. All component sets come with a 6.5 inch so you would need an adapter for it to fit in the 6X9 hole. Most component sets come with a 4 inch mid range, installation shops say they can fit. I recommend. JL audio, Focal, or Boston Acoustics for a 3 way component set. For best results power them with an amp instead of the deck. I haven't changed mine as yet. I haven't decided what brand to go with. I want to put a 2 way component set in the rear. I just don't know where to add the tweeter in the rear. Installation shops also say 6.5inch can also fit the back. Any thoughts guys and gals!!!

I have the same PDX 1.600 amp in my tc powering 2 rockford fosgate HX2 subs. The amp works great. When you put the 6.5s in the rear, did you need a bracket to get them to fit?

I recommend you get the new alpine ina-w910 head unit. I have an older IVA-W205 with GPS and BT, I'll be putting it up for sale soon to get the w910
