    First off, I'm pretty sure those are just crossovers lol.

    Second, I think subs need to complement the rest of the system. Meaning don't ****ing overdrive them like a mother****ing hoodlum. Loud subs != good subs. Basically the subs are there to fill the lower portion of the audio spectrum where smaller speakers can't, not overtake the whole damn thing.

    research. yes it's been done. At least in my 04+ and I've seen others on here too. Tweeter placement should be based on the response of the actual tweeter itself. They're not all made the same.

    So you guys are saying get the 6x9 subs. Okay. If yes, then i for sure need an amp... and thats an expense i don't want to get into. And if i had the subs, couldnt i be better off getting coaxial speakers and stop fking with the tweeter?

    Hrmm. I'm not aware of 6x9 subs. They're typically a mid-bass/mid-range, and tweeter setup.

    No offense or anything but rockford is talked up. Truthfully there are better speakers and things. Your prolly paying more than you need to for great sound quality

    Rockford Fosgate Prime R152-S for the front.

    Now my questions:

    Im keeping stock head unit, so im not getting an amp. Im guessing these should work ok as stock replacements, correct? (non bose coupe)

    Now, i want to mount the separate tweeter where the old ones (keep oem look), anything i should know about doing that?

    Also, about the speakers: Im looking for solid bass for the rear, and clear mids and high for the front. Dont want a subbbbb.

    Any help appreciated. Thanks guys.
    I actually did this to my car last weekend. I replaced both the front and rear speakers and kept the stock head unit. I did not install an amp. I honestly can say that the new speakers do sound better. It was not that big of a pain to do this and it only cost me $80. Let me know if you want any advice.
