I am looking to do a "Full" audio upgrade on my 99 base. I have the factory door speakers and the 4X40 amp in the frunk. I plan to replace the radio, dash speakers and add the rear speaker box. I will install a nice 4 channel aftermarket amp also. Should I stick with 5.25" subwoofers or go to a nice full range speaker. I am also debating modifying the doors to accept 6.5" also.

I am afraid having 3.5" speakers and subs will leave the middle of the sound range empty…
I have read tons of articles on people adding the 6.5" but no real comparison of subs versus full range….

Thoughts? Experience?
