    How much can you spend? How much space can you sacrifice? SQ (sound quality) or SP (sound pressure)? When you say throw in the back, where exactly? Back seats? Behind the seats? Build a wall?

    If you are not planning on changing the head unit I would recommend an amp and new door speakers as well. Simply throwing subs on the stock HU and mids/highs will leave you underwhelmed, ask me how I know.
