Upgrading Sound System 05 Coupe with Bose
hey all, this is my first post on here and hope this is in the right section . ive had my 05 coupe for about a year now and am looking to replace the entire sound system. i currently already have an aftermarket DD HU, but still have the factory speakers. not to explicilty mention where i work lol . but i get a hefty discount on audio products such as Kicker, JBL, Infinity, Kenwood etc. and was looking at different options im aware that the speakers in the doors are 6.5" and the sub deck is 6x9 but from a bit of research looks like the tweeter will be a bit tricky as I've read its only a 1" tweeter. and some of the systems ive found have bigger ones. so below are some links as to what ive found and am considering would like to hear some different thoughts on how i should approach this. im not the biggest audiophile but would like a good sounding system with some bass when i need it. mainly listening to electronic music and some rap/hip hop.
Also any recommendations on an amp to power any of these?
Thanks All

Don't do rears. Put more money to the fronts.
People think it might sound strange are ill-informed. Pretty much everything in your life involves the sound forward of you, and that's how the typical recording arrangement for stereo is done - musicians ahead of the recording equipment.
So, get some good front components with 1" tweeters, and a good amp, and you'll be quite happy. You can do a little bigger on the tweeter if you want to make some new holes in the car, but there's some great components with 1" tweeters.

I wouldn't touch infinity at all
Zero midbass and ear fatiging tweeters.
If you're on a budget, JBL P660c are hard to beat http://www.ebay.com/itm/JBL-P660C-6-...gAAOSwtJZXUh2V
