So I want decent bass, but I don't want to run subs... I've never liked the amount of space they take up and I don't want THAT much bass.

What I am looking to do is replace all of the speakers. All work fine and I have the GT model with the 6 speaker stereo and amp. I have a SONY XPLOD head unit that does 52x4 watts (208 total) with rear or sub selectable out. So what I want to do is put speakers in the rear that are decent on bass, use those primarily for the bass and then replace the tweeters to higher quality ones, and replace the door speakers with something to give me my mid range.

What are good brands that I can check out that wont rape me in cost, but be effective in the area's I'm looking. Does anyone here have any experience with high bass speakers that aren't subs? Could I run an 8" sub in place of a rear speaker and wire it the same as the speakers?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

So far, I'm impressed. They came with crossovers and tweaters too. I'm actually going to replace my OEM tweeters with these and run a pair in the rear with the crossovers. I'm also looking at decent 8" mid range speakers for the doors. Only 2 of the 4 are good... the guy ripped me off. The cone is cracked on one and the other has tares in the diaphragm around the cone... Oh well. Two are good though, so they will replace my rears.

I'll update when I install them on my day off. I've got a strut mount to replace and I'll see if I can do these too. Speakers and wiring are my favorite... I hate working on suspension lmao.
