If you're willing to do some modification, you can put some 6.5s up front. Just watch out for the mounting depth...try not to exceed 2 3/8ths inch. This is with a baffle board and a 1 inch spacer ring. You can do the same with the rears.

4 inch rounds for both front and rears. Go for the custom/larger than 4 inch...the extra response is more than worth it!

Check out hookedontronics.com, I have found their prices to be cheaper than crutchfield, and they have very good reviews.

I will be doing 5 1/4 Infinity reference components up front with 4 inch in the rear doors.

Well, i have the same problem when i turn my sub power up to much, the stock amp over powers the sub then the sub begins to pop, heres a perfect example of what i mean, btw dont flame for the music i like LP.

i don't really know if the stock amp can overpower any decent sub. I'm thinking that the sub isn't being presented with enough power which is why it pops.

here's a tip on the speakers... don't buy them from crutchfield - get them from www.millionbuy.com - they have GREAT deals on speakers and you'll be able to either get MUCH better speakers for the money or save a TON of cash.
