Would S-Pods compliment my system?

I've pondered both alternatives myself, and I decided to go with the S-Pods on my MY04. My reasoning? I don't know if there's any actual evidence to back up my thinking, but a speaker designed for rear sound (both bass, mids, and highs) would be muffled if the speaker fired directly into the seat. I could see this being a possibility especially if listening to talk rado or something like that while doing 70 down the highway.
A few people have up-graded from cut panels fireing into the seats to S-Pods. I'll ask them to offer their un-biased opinoins.

Im ready to go with the S-Pods, now I just need a component set. Im thinking of the Type-Rs, I only hear good things. Like I have told other people, I dont want to put a cap on my system, I am tired of replacing already replaced parts, so I want to do it right this time.

Mark, Philip noted that the Type-Rs had a pretty low sensitivity rating, and that this would keep the HU from really getting them going. Do you know of any other speakers that may have a higher sensitivity? I found the XR series for 225 shipped, which I could spring for if it would be good to match my components. They have a sensitivity of 89.5.

Philip came up with the Infinity 5000CS components.

Do you have any opinions on those Mark? The specs seem great, but I found out the hard way that they dont mean much sometimes.
