I'm going to run front comps and rear sub. To me the car is so small that rear fill isn't necessary especially depending on the power up front.

i've seen people install 6 1/2 comp but you'll just need an mdf baffle unless you want to use a plastic one. Dang Dynaudio would be nice. You must have a good budget planned.

I just put in a 6.5" MB Quart component set in the doors. I was tempted to replace the rear speakers when I had the interior out, but in the end I'm glad I didn't. The fronts are plenty loud. I'm not sure the rears would add anything more to the system. I ended up spending > $1000 and I am very happy with what I got.
