[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7092788, member: 576029"] listen to some Hertz speakers - assuming you have available depth. really, that is the first thing to figure out- what can you actually fit in those locations. There are plenty of Impreza forums that should offer details on what fits and what you have for depth. Crutchfield is an excellent online resource, and i recommend buying from them so you get a warranty, and installation accessories, and instructions, and customer service. ebay is fine for use gear, IMO, but i never recommend buying "new" from ebay. i recommend buying authorized. or better than online; find a shop, make some friends, and build a relationship that will pay dividends in the long run. Some Infinity speakers are 2 ohm - so keep that in mind with your plans for amplification. I'd put Alpine up against Infinity, Boston, Polk, and entry JL. Investing in front components is #1. But there isn't much at $350 (either below or above), so you're bound to have some money left. if you feel like you need some rear 4" - just buy some mids or disconnect the tweeter on coax. you don't want tweeters behind you, but you do want them in front of you. try to get the same brand/model line front/rear so tonality is consistent. The front comps won't perform without an amp. So maybe you spend $250 on comps and the rest on a small 4ch amp that you can bridge to the front comps. [/QUOTE]
