And you can certainly leave the stock rear speaks and just upgrade the front. Reas are just for fill, and do need to be crossed over pretty high. You can also trim off the top end frequency of the rears (10k and up is a good start) so you just have a midrange sound coming from behind you.

I wouldn't quibble about sensitivity numbers, just make sure whatever driver you choose is in the proper size box. Proper box is the key! I personally prefer ported when done right; has more output at lower frequencies but response drops off fast (24db/oct) for tones lower than the port frequency. Subsonic eq is recommended. I've heard what people think of as crappy drivers sound very good. I've always pushed much more power than a sub is rated (usually around double) as long as it is clean (no clipping) and not listening to something like 20Hz tones all day.

All I see is blabber blabber blabber.
I guess if I want to start doing car audio it's time to start researching huh?
For now, all of your minds put together should be spectacular
Thanks again!
I'll let you know what the buddy thinks and where we go from there
