Sound-speaker guru needed!

I have clear sound and I am missing a little bass. So in your opinion components are a waste of money for what I am looking for?

The Yaris is a small car, so with a clever sub install, you can get your seat pulsing good without anyone outside the car noticing. What I'm saying is by having a separate sub, you can really crank up or down the bass without having to crank up or down the other speakers/levels. As I mentioned, my car can be boomy as fuck with only a small 8" sub using a 300w built-in amp right behind the driver seat under a deck that also acts as a big resonance box, without disturbing people walking by. To get that level of bass from door speakers (probably 6" with small wiring) that have very little resonance structure around them to pulse the air properly, you'd have to crank the volume so high you'd be a very annoying driver. We're talking $100 here, which isn't a lot for an easy and quick solution to your audio setup.

By replacing your door speakers with low range speakers will take away that clear sound you currently have, since you won't have enough mid-range speakers anymore. The tweeter I installed in my car are located similar to yours, and by using the supplied crossovers and connecting them on a -8bd output of the crossover and wired to the rear speakers, I was able to fade the signal to the front speakers to F4 (out of R15 to F15, 0 being both equal) so they wouldn't shout more than my less powerful 6" front door speakers. Then using a small sub to handle the lower than 150hz range, I was able to get the most out of my stock door speakers by only sending them frequencies over 120hz and the highs that the door wouldn't reach were given by the tweeters. Now I don't have to crank anything up to hear all the details, and when I crank it up, it still stay nice and balanced.

I doesn't hurt to get better door speakers, but since the door isn't anywhere close to a decent speaker enclosure, you'll never get the full quality they can output. That's kind of a waste of money IMO. Plus the small wiring that goes to the doors won't help either. I'd leave the door speakers to handle the mid range for now and complete the low with a small sub. Then when you'll do the door sound proofing, that will be a good moment to do what ever upgrades to the door speakers if you still feel like they aren't good enough for you.
