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.
Yeah, too late Going the 2 way route and will see what happens. Worse case I add the 3.5's back into the mix, but the installer was concerned about getting these to integrate correctly and told me a good 2 way setup is easier. We will find out..

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.
I was checking out their enclosures and like them, but am building my own custom enclosure that should take up minimal space as well. Should cost me less than $20 for the enclosure since I already have all the tools already and it really just comes down to buying a 4x4 piece of 13 ply baltic birch.
