Really pleased with the Kappas. Worth it even if you do no more than listen talk radio.

I am however re-thinking the rear speaker option. Since I don't have the rear storage unit and would need to purchase it and then buy the OEM or PNP 3.5" speaker kit and then would be still at a point where I would be missing bass.
I am thinking why not just put a bigger 6.5" 2-way or even 3-way in the doors?
They should fit and if I like the 4" Kappas, why wouldn't I love the 6.5"?

Only two negatives come to mind - the grille won't look stock and I would need to find someone who has pulled the stock speaker bracket to make a template.
