You're probably going to change speakers before me so let me know how components sound with just mids, I may just try some JBL coaxials I have lying around somewhere from my starlet and see how that goes, I know the standard front speakers clip in and aren't even screwed so that makes life easier, a good headunit/EQ setup helps these dramatically though! I do have a rather powerful subwoofer so I do need speakers for vocals more than anything else though! The EP3 is a joy to drive in town, the steering is light yet somewhat precise, the K20 has low down grunt and also the ratios help a bunch! Plus its surprisingly good on fuel!
