    It sounds much better than stock with both upgrades; I didn't change the rear speakers, nor the head unit.
    I did dial down the Tweeter on the head unit since there are 3 ways

    Got the Kickers today. Definitely can say a very nice improvement over stock. Good enough that I’m not wondering what I’m missing with DS18s. Overall happy with my purchase.

    For what it’s worth, I got them for about $90 at BAM Wholesale. Cheaper than Amazon and pretty much any OEM Subaru parts site. DS18s are a little cheaper than what I paid for the Kickers.
