So, with stock audio in my BRZ, I feel like I'm missing part of my hearing...

Solution: get new speakers.

Goal: New 3-way speakers installed in front, no sub (need my trunk space and 6.5 door woofers should be plenty for me). Leaning heavily towards passive crossovers since active would require a lot more time/money.

Questions:
Are CDT and Hertz are the ony 2 companies which still make 3-ways? I am wondering which one I should get for the least amount of fabrication.

Hertz HSK-163 vs HSK-163L.5: There is about a $150 price difference between the two, but I can't beind the L.5 version on their website. Is this just an older version? is it just as good, or is the regular 163 way better?

I'll be using stock HU for now, but may upgrade to a Pioneer NEX at a later date. Thoughts on just getting an amp w/ line-level inputs, or should I get a line level converter (thinking a 2ch would be sufficient i using passive xovers?)

Dealing with 3-way is such a pain in the a$$...


Another option, get decent 2-ways, but w/o a sub, I'm worried that it won't sound as good and that I'll lose some sound stage/range/fidelity/etc.)
