It really just depends on what you want your car to sound like. Some
people like to have a solidly-anchored "front stage", with only a
little bit of rear fill to "flesh out" the sound. Others like to hear
everything coming from everywhere. It's easier to tell where
high-frequency sounds are coming from, so having tweeters in the rear
and feeding them with a lot of power can sometimes "pull" the
soundstage more towards the middle or the rear of the car.
For my tastes, I usually go with two- or three-way component speaker
sets in the front, some 5-1/4" or 6-1/2" coaxials in the rear deck,
depending on what will fit, and then one or two 12" subs in the trunk,
crossed-over fairly low (around 60-80 Hz).
I'll give 75-100W to each of the front component sets, 50W or so to
the rear speakers, and then about 300-400W to the sub(s). If I
switched to the newer "Class D" amps for the subs, I'd probably feed
them a lot more power, since the digital-switching amps are so much
cheaper per watt and so much more efficient than my older Class AB
amps. But I've got several of the old Precision Power "Art Series"
amps that I like a lot, so I'll probably hold onto them for a long
time.
