First off I'll post pictures and sorta write up of the install when I finish it but right now just wanted to share the parts list.
First off this is currently with the base stock radio. I will be replacing the head-unit once insurance pays me for stolen unit. But the factory speakers lack a lot and I was disappointed with the mid bass that put out, so decided to do an overhaul.
For up front I picked up some Hertz DSK 165, I will be using the factory locations for both door and dash (just gotta find a good place to run the wires from door to dash)
For the back I picked up some Hertz ECX 165.5, I picked those out over to entry level Hertz (DCX 165) because of the higher Continuous Power in case I hook a larger amp to these in the future.
To give these speakers a little more power I hooked up a Alpine KTP-445U Power Pack I already have this hooked up now to the stock speakers and OMG they hit hard now, unbelievable!!!
Now for some more details about the install because IMO you can have top of the line speakers and if installed wrong or horrible they will sound horrible.
I will have all doors completely deadened with some NVX Sound Dampening. I will be replacing the factory bracket and making my own with some ABS Plastic and also making a spacer with High Density Polyethylene.
Lastly I will be using F.A.S.T Rings from Sound Connection to have a gasket around the speakers to improve sound.
Here is a good DYI video on the brackets, spacer and F.A.S.T Rings, and this guys channel has a lot of helpful info for the non professional like myself.

But that's what I have so far, hopefully more to come in the next couple weeks as I don't have as much time as I'd like to install right away.
Any questions or input is welcomed :)
