audio setup help

Hey,

This post might sound a bit fanatical but I need input. I have a 95 Max currently with
-Kenwood Excelon PS 909 Headunit
- Infinity Kappa Components
6.5 in front Doors
1 inch tweeters on mirror
-Infinity Kappy 6 by 9 3 way, in rear deck
-Infinity Kappa Amp 50*4 and a mono out. 200*1 for subs

My q's are about making it sound better. I know the Kappas arent the greatest but they are good enough. I am looking to add more speakers, possibly components somewhere in the cabin and wondering where to put them? I want to have it sound super clear and loud in the car. I was thinking somewhere in the middle of the car, or maybe more tweeters up front? Anyone good at sound have any ideas?
-Also I am interested in getting In-dash navigation. I would want one that has the monitor permantly built into the dash and not popping out via motor but that might not be possible. Either way which one are the best values?
-My third q is, what subs should I get? I want ones clear not just boom in the car. Where should i put them? I dont want to lose my whole trunk.

Thanks for your time!

how about a pair of kickpanels???? kickpanels with just your tweeters and mids, aimed correctly should be fine. and you should have no need to any other speakers. aiming is very important, it should sound like you have a center channel if done right.

i don't know about the navi....

and what's the price range and amp that's going to go with the sub??? if your not looking for boom, but great sound quality that can get loud if need be, i'd recommend a adire shiva. it's a home sound system sub, so it's not all fancy with designs, it'll fit in a small enclosure, and best of all it doesn't need a lot of power to get it moving. most people haven't heard of the shiva, but go on sounddomain.com or whatever else sound forum, and search on the shiva, you'll see what people think of them.
