I love stereos.
Those tweets up front will sound great.

You matched your stereo well, no need for big amps in a small compartment, I'm not using any amps either, even though i have 2 from a previous vehicle.

I put a top of the line Kenwood excelon deck in the Beetle, 4 x 45 watts, control over bass cut off frequencies and cross over frequencies.
No need to use cross-overs at the speakers, but i do, to further cut off the frequencies.
I picked up a older bass cannon Bazooka tube, but have yet to install it.
My plan is to mount it where the stock cd player is in the back.
If you can run a mp3 player off the deck it would consume less power then playing a cd.
My deck has a input for an mp3 player or what ever uses a mini jack.
I have a extension mini plug line off the back off the deck,then use it to plug my iphone in and play tunes off it.
I have got say, you got a pretty nice sound pressure reading off those speakers.
