[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8748416, member: 614752"] Looks like you've got some good input already here, but I'd just like to suggest you up-spend into Type R components for your fronts. R is a very solid performer at their price point and a very big upgrade over the S. I've heard both in person and I would not recommend the type S line to anybody, if that's your budget you'd do better with Kicker or JBL/Infinity offerings in that price range I think. Also I'd feel comfortable using factory wiring to get your sound into doors/factory locations if running your own seems overly difficult. Just run a bundle up to behind the dash and connect to the wiring pigtail you'd get to install the new head unit. Not optimum but I've done this with more power and been fine. Some doors are easy, some are going to be a nightmare to either stuff more wire thorough the factory rubber conduits and drilling to make more space may be impossible without removing the door entirely which I'd avoid at all costs unless you are very comfortable with that sort of body work and don't mind a big project. Hell, some cars will still be difficult to just get up behind the kick panel where you can get out into the doors. [/QUOTE]
