Default Upgrading the system on the FA1

So im finally getting around to upgrading the sound system in my 2007 civic sedan. Im going to go the amp'd speakers route.

My plan:

-Alpine KTP-445 power pack


What I need suggestions on:

-I have 2 sets of new speakers that i put into my old EG8 before i bought my new car.
First set is the Alpine typeR speakers and the second set is Infinty Reference Series speakers. Which set should i use as the front door speakers?

-I cant use the other set for the rear deck because there is this bar that runs below where the speaker sits that interfers if the speaker sits to deep. So i need to here from you guys which speakers i should buy for the rear deck.

I used crutchfield.com to sort the speakers and size that would fit in the rear deck of the car. If you could go through the list and give me some options on what speakers to buy.

What im looking for in sound:

i want a clean sound with some bass. Not subwoofer bass but like new luxury car bass.

Thanks

PS: i have a new alpine CDA-105 HU

Eh an ok choice. Not as good as a external amp though

Choose the ones that you think sound best, or the ones that fit the easiest lol. also, for the rear deck you can make a ring the elevates the speaker a bit as see if that works

Almost all luxury cars, and even most midlevel cars nowadays, have a sub.....just fyi. Do you have 6.5" slots in the back?

1)i ran an external amp in my previous car, and man was it a pain in the ***. running wires from amp to front speakers was the worse.

2)The rings wont work because there is not enough space from top of speaker to the back side of the grill/speaker cover.

3)My girl has an 04 honda accord ex-l. And her speakers sound bass-y. im sure they are amplified but not that much. thats the sound that im going for.

And yes the slots in the back are 6.5", but that bar causes alot of fitment issues, so smaller speakers will sometimes be needed if they have big magnets.

And the type r's are going into the front door slots.

I didn't find it very hard at all on my civic. Maybe cause I enjoy it lol.

And really? there's that little room for the rear speakers?? That's a bit ridiculous.....oh well
