get some spacers and go infinity mate, i got some that are better s/q wise than my jade series pro plus's (£140) and were cheaper u should get 6 1/2's (655's,£115) in the doors with a little mod, u wont regret it and ur ears will love you.
my dvds never sounded so good, brill value for money.

Unless youre going with custom door builds and sound deadening the door then youre wallet will not thank you! You wont really need that good a component set with factory positioning. Also are you going to amp them as this is really a must with components upfront. It would be a waste putting good components in their.
Infinity Referance are a great value speaker... £110 ish and they will get loud if you amp them. Ive had a set now for THREE years in my Corsa, they are the only remaining piece of Audio Equiptment from my old budget install, could do with upgrading but they just keep going strong. P.S they have a clean 100 wrms @ 12V flowing thru them!

referance series are for original positions, component sets are just sized and will fit specific door builds, i have 655i ref's in the back and 655cs ref components in the front. altogether a great sound backed up with some serious subs

i've got some infinity kappas 50.5cs up front. just in the middle of making the door pods. they do have a very clean and clear sound. almost heavenly.
at the moment they're run off an alpine amp at around 60rms, but the speakers can take 85rms and 225 max so i think a new amp is in order!
has any one ever heard of Macrom? they do some components that are supposed to be the dogz bollockz, expensive though
