Can anyone suggest a surround car audio set up given the following?

akoyikalima asked the question:


Can anyone suggest an audio setup for a compact car (Honda CIty 2003) with an alpine IVA-D105 head unit?

My car is a small 4-door, 5-seater with interiors similar to the Honda Jazz/Fit. The biggest difference is that the City has got a trunk where as the Jazz/Fit is a hatchback. It does not have the space behind the back seats of a hatchback. Its just got that space behind the back seats and the rear wind shields, like other sedans have.

My head unit is wasted on its stock 2 speakers found at the front doors.

I prefer alpine as they are readily available where i live in.
Fish, do you suggest to get the SPR-17C or to go spend some more to get SPR-17S?
