Speaker suggestions please

I have the upgraded speakers from subaru and they are ok, I want more!!!!

I am just getting started with the whole audiophile thing so in depth explinations are welcome.

What I have:

kenwood kdc-3011 stereo
kenwood kdc-715 cd changer
Subaru tweeters in the door (I like the location)
Subaru front door speakers
Subaru rear door speakers
Subaru "Subwoofer" under the passenger seat

I need to try and keep as much trunk space as possible, and I don't need to have the bass shake the house 2 blocks over but shaking my nieghbor is ok

I listen to just about everything but I really like clarity (not tinny) but a rich full sound with real tight Bass that doesn't rattle.

Sorry for the extended post.

How much room are you willing to use? How much money are you willing to spend?

I'd like to be in the 2-3K range, and the trunk space is what is really important

I would upgrade the factory speakers and buy a 4 channel amp to power them. If you are planning on having a professional shop do your install, they should be able to build you a nice amp rack that can go on the inside trunk lid, this will save some space. Also you could upgrade the sub and have them build you a nice fiberglass sub enclosure. You could also do all of this your self. Having a shop do it could get pricey.
I like Polk speakers my self, but alot of peopel rave about focal speakers. If you like Kenwood there amps are good for the price, and there speakers aren't bad either. You should try to listen to the speakers you are going to buy before you get them, everyones taste is different.
