Default interior speaker recommendations pls?

i just installed a JVC in dash, and would like to upgrade the stock speakers. i dont plan to install a sub, so im just looking for some good interior speakers. do you guys recommend going for a component system in the front, or just buy some good tweeters and speakers? im lookin for a good amount of bass.. just dont feel like getting a deck AND a sub stolen if someone were to break into my car. thx!

good luck getting any decent bass out of 6.5" speakers. I have pioneer 4 ways in the front and 3 ways in the back as well as a pioneer 8" shallow subwoofer under the passenger seat. I love it, no space lost in the trunk, and the sound is great!

Nope, just the pioneer shallow 8 box. I waited about 3 months for a cheap one to show up on ebay, then I finally broke down and just bought it

Doesn't get nearly as loud as the 12" I had in the trunk, but i sure love the trunk space!

components up front. leave the rear stock. swapping the rear speakers doesn't do much at all.

I have just a 400W alpine under the rear seat for power.
I got it installed Friday night (USP delivered the box at 9:20PM), went on a road trip, and haven't had a chance to take any pics yet, but I'm planning on it

I am running the Rockford Fosgate M282 in the front doors. Just takes a little cutting and moding and there you go. Lots of mid bass for sure. There is a couple write ups on here about it.
