for the greater good of the world (and so you don't get mad at yourself later) please do not use audiobahn... It's one of the worst audio companies today, and they make some of the worst crap, too.

What kind of music do you listen to? I like CDT Audio for my mids and highs. MB Quart, Focal, and Infinity are also popular and respected brands. Elemental Designs are my prefered brand for subs. I also like Resonant Engineering. JL is another popular company, although you have to be careful with those subs -- they tend to be muddy.

i listen to rap mostly and occasionally techno/dance music thats why i want highs...i mean subs would be nice but i'd rather tune my car in performance first but the question about installing them is it hard to do???

installation is VERY easy. 5 minutes maximum for coaxials. components require more effort. You pop out the grills with a screwdriver and then can unscrew the stock speakers, mount the new ones (5.25" up front, but only 2 holes will line up) and screw those in. The stock plugs should work on most aftermarket speakers.
