Tweeters for a MY08
Did you only Dynamat the door? Does it make any difference when the roof it down or only when it's up?
I think those tweeters would work for me - I noticed you are in SoCal - I know you do everything yourself, but is there a shop you can recommend in Orange County?
I will start a list and start shopping soon - another question though, I don't listen to music with the bass turned up too heavily, but I'm assuming it will still be worthwhile to invest in at least one subwoofer? Do I HAVE to enclose it or it just sucks and rattles if not?

A subwoofer doesn't just bring in SPL it also fills in the lows. Not sure what you mean by the subwoofer. Mine aren't "enclosed" in the sense of being sealed or ported but you have to separate the front and rear waves. The trunk is my enclosure. You can do a pure enclosure less sub system but not in a car, unless you vent the trunk to the atmosphere heavily, not really an option. Rattles depend on install quality.

Why would you get coaxials and separate tweeters? Just get component speakers, that's a far preferable way to go. I have Polk MM6501's, and they fit/sound great. You should consider Dynamatting the door at the same time, it makes a huge improvement in the sound.

Yes, I only Dynamatted the doors, and it makes a big diff. all the time. The Polks were generating enough bass to rattle the doors annoyingly, and the Dynamat took care of that.
