Thanks for the information. I have axset of infinity reference coming for the dash, so next will be the rear kit.

I need to change the amp,out prbably just goung to go for a 6 channels haes from a 996. I boght a fiur cannel donor amp to build an interface cable but after thinking it over i think 40 watts x6 channels is enough power.

Looking a some thin mount 6.5 inch kickers 2 ohms to put in the doors. That get down to 35 Hz or maybe just go with a infinity component kappa and not use the tweater.

Anyway i appriciate the info I am new owner still and have found a ton of info on this site.

I used the Kicker CVT65 units to replace the door subs. Mine were the 1ohm versions, so I tied them in series to give the amp a 2 ohm load and connected it to the 5th channel on my JVC amp. Looks and sounds great. Here is the thread I created to document the process:
