Remember, you dont want bass from the door speakers, only mid and high end.

Pop a sub in the boot to fill in for the best sound and idealy 30W RMS of amp for the door speakers with  a filter on to remove the bass (the original fit ones are actualy very good!)

Yeah, works wonders, also consider fitting an amp, will go most places in the boot, have mine on the back of the seat, alpine speakers replacing factory fitted door speakers, alpine V12 amp, alpine head unit, and kicker bass woofer in boot.
