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. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.

those speakers shouldn't go in the rear unless you plan on running them with the tweeters in the front which can be done but requires wiring, the speakers you have that are 6.5 inch are woofers for a component system meaning they need to be split with crossovers and tweeters. Now you can run those in the rear but would have to wire up the crossover as well along with them if you want the bass in the rear, those speakers are rated for 100w rms though you need more power, 25rms that your deck pushes out isnt close to being enough to push them
