Where can I put speakers?

I have 4 6 inch door speakers and I want to keep my stock speakers in the doors so that i have 8 speakers instead of 4. Im not sure where I can put my other speakers though I was thinking the back deck but I want to see if anyone has done this before. If you have please show me some pics or if anyone has some ideas of what I could do please let me know.

Running 4 more speaks off of the stock amp is probably not a good idea. If you want better sound, you should invest in a better system than stock. More speakers does not = better sound quality. Maybe start by replacing the stock tweeters- they suck.

Music is mastered in 2 channels. The only thing you're going to get out of eight speakers is increased complexity of the system, more points of failure, more out-of-phase sound, more sound with different delays reaching your soundstage and more holes in your car.

If you have a 9-or-more-channel sound processor to compensate for sound delay and to balance the EQ per speaker individually, you can pull it off, otherwise, you're just going to end up with a sound system that will impress the ignorant high-schoolers in Wal-Mart's parking lot on a Friday night.

dumb idea is dumb.

Don't do that.

Get rid of the stock stuff and go aftermarket.
