Good speakers, Here's what I'm trying to achieve. Options

[RabidTRD]

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.

the best thing that comes to mind for what your wanting would be to get a 4 channel amp of about 500w and get a component speaker set for front and rear. components have a crossover(enables certain frequencys to go to say tweeters and certain ones to go to woofers), woofers, and tweeters basicly a speaker but in seprate components to give better quality sound. they can run from 100-1000$ for front set and same for back set.. but cost wise you could always just get some good replacement speakers for all your speakers, then get a small 250-400w amp and run a single 8" or 10" woofer in the hatch, that would be small enough, hell some subwoofers can use very small boxes and have good sound from them. could also go with a all in one powered subwoofer and that usualy is very small and not heavy....and a lower powered amp wont give you an obscene ammount of bass but would sound good. in my 95 grand prix gtp i had i just had a single 10" subwoofer with 250w powering it and it sounded good a nice overall balance of sound. good luck! others might have better input then me i only know a little bit about car audio.
