Hawk upgrade advice
Fellas,
The next job on my upgrade plan for my 2007 Hawk STi is the audio. The car's currently fitted with the standard system (bloody tape drive!! and sounds awful compared to the Logic 7 13-speaker system fitted to my previous car (335i).
Problem is, I know next to **** all about sound systems. Defo, I'm gonna be changing the head unit and front speakers. From a little reading it sounds like upgrading the rear speakers could be tricky?
I must say, i'm against having a subwoofer in the boot. I use that space a lot. The under seat options sound like a good compromise. The Beemer had them under the front seats and had enough bass for me.
Is 500 quid a good budget?

I wondered if I should mount some speakers in the parcel shelf and extend the wiring from the rear speakers to power them. Sounds like concentrate on the front of the car is the way forwards, then do a further upgrade if I want more.

Trying to work out if I should go with coaxial speakers in the front, ie ditch the stock tweeters or just change the speaker for a better component one. Are the stock tweeters worth changing if sticking with components?
