Put the 5.25's in the front. Do a search for "speaker rings". I think the maker/seller is named jim-clayton. Put fiberfill under the fronts when you install them - it makes a big difference because the sound really reverbs with all the plastic/metal in the dash.

Put some 6.5's in the rear. I went with Polk DB651S which are slim mount and go in there with no mods necessary.

We also have a Kenwood enclosed amp behind the pass seat which is a dog, but does help. Your sub should be much better.

We're using a high end pioneer HU, can't think of the model #.

THe folks who say the sound has to suck, just haven't done it right. You're never going to make it a Lexus, but I just drove ~100mph for 3 hours with the top off and a Stage 2 and I heard the music great.

Once you get the equipment in there, you need to make profiles for top off/soft top/hard top and program them in.

IMO, the biggest improvements come from getting the biggest speakers possible in the front and rear. I can't stress that enough. Putting the JL5.25's in the front made an enormous difference for us.
