I have the 6 speaker stereo system and I want a little more bass. Just to get a full sound out of the audio. I was thinking of replacing either the door speakers or rear speakers with 8" subs but I'm afraid that I'll loose too much mid and high. Has anyone done this, and how does it sound?
And adding a sub and amp in the rear hatch isn't an option for me. I really don't like them taking up space or having to remove it if I need more room. -------------------- 99 Celica GT-S

Ok, again, NOTHING is going in the trunk, NOTHING. I'm really not looking for suggestions on WHAT to do, just curious as to who's done the swap and if it sounds good. Doesn't matter, I'm just going to either buy some 8 speaker door panels or buy another set of 6 speaker ones and add the 5 1/2" ... the 8's, at least in pics, just look like 6's that they did the same to. Then find an OEM amp and upgrade all the speakers.
