Something missing from all your builds: midrange speakers.

The BRZ/FRS has terrible doors for midrange. 500-4000Hz range, you do not want to be part of those door enclosures.

By the same token, your dashboard sounds like crap, as all of ours do. 4th order high pass filter (24dB/octave) around 500Hz is also something you want for the dashboard.

Your best best for sound is a 3 way setup, door woofers, plus 3 inch plus tweeter. You're better off doing that and going with no rears as opposed to going 2-way up front. I've listened to very nice speakers in a 2 way setup in a FR-S, and I'd say you're significantly better off going 3-way.

If you want a sub, Integrity Concepts is a great deal once they get back on their feet following their move, otherwise, the JL Audio Stealthbox is a nice piece.
