To the post directly above this - you are probably confused from the post I quoted, the bass comes from the sail panel speakers -- have you ever listened to the speakers closely It should be pretty obvious which is only reproducing the lower frequencies..

The choice between the two brands is mostly a matter of personal preference. The Alpines have a warmer sound while the Infinities are quite bright sounding. In fact, some people have complained that the Infinities are too bright - your mileage may vary.
ok i get it. so if i did want some more bass i would need to add a sub. im guessing with a sub i would def need an amp, and how much do tiny subs usually cost. i wouldnt want anything big becasue i am trying to save weight plus i dont like too much bass.

I agree with fredmr39. If the factory subs aren't blown then leave them and just upgrade the HU and the door speakers. Even if they are blown, there are some nice options for subs you can use to replace them rather than putting coax speakers in the sail panels. The Elemental Designs EU-700 subs described in this thread make a particularly good replacement in a Firebird.
