And overpay for the drop-in 'convenience', which is not worth it in this application -- there are better speakers for considerably less money, as @Grave mentions above.

robman23 : @Grave speaks truth. Components are a waste of money in the rear; coaxials will actually perform better for a few reasons: generally higher sensitivity/SPL and the tweeter on most is angled and can be rotated toward the front of the car, to name two. Also, do a search and read up on speaker matching, as well as on Bavsound's quality-control issues with the 2 Series Stage 1 kit.

With Bavsound, you're paying almost exclusively for ease of installation and compatibility with other OEM equipment. This is important for the subs since the location, space, etc. is so constrained and specialized, so the Ghost products make sense. However, the same constraints and specializations do not apply to the regular speakers; their mounting and operation is fairly universal. If you are at all tempted by upgrading the amp, disconnecting/bypassing ASD, etc., the Bavsound kits are not worth it.
