Is there a need to add another set of tweeters or is the stock 6 speaker arrangement adequate?

Well, in my opinion, the 6 speaker arrangement is more than adequate. I have a 6 3/4" Cerwin-Vega Stealth component set up front with the 6 3/4" mid-range speakers in the doors and the 1" tweeters in the dash. It sounds awesome! Then I have JBL GTO 5x7 speakers in the back. I have about 60 watts RMS going to each of the 6 speakers. And I have a little over 200 watts going to the 10" JBL GT woofer in the back.

This setup creates a very even sound and that's what I was looking for. I hate when people have all these woofers in the back with tons of bass then they have crappy speakers up front or don't have enough power up there then you can't hardly hear anything else besides bass.

By the way, you have one of the best looking PT's on here in my opinion. I guess because it mostly looks like mine. So do your sound right too! Good luck...
