The Phillips speakers are with the HK sound system if I recall correctly and I'm almost positive I do. If they have a metal cage and don't look like dog sh*t then they are HK. The base system also didn't have the 3" speakers or rear subs, so you've got the HK system.
Those pods look good. I'd try pointing them backwards instead of forwards. I think that will be your best bet for sound quality.
For subs, let me see what I can find you. 10" is too big to hang for sure. I don't think it will rattle as long as its a purpose built enclosure. Is there a maximum mounting depth for the one you've found?
Edit: nevermind, just saw the link. 7.4" mounting depth.
Ok, here's what I've found you. Use the same amp linked before and a couple of these should treat you right. Ill look back at the specs and see if you need to wire it series or parallel.
Ok, lets rotate that sub out for it's single voice coiled twin. Here you go.

Get two of these and run them in series. That will drop it to 2 ohms which is 300 watts RMS from the amp. These subs will live a long happy life at that power level and should sound pretty good.
Thanks. I will jump on the subwoofers and pod enclosure now, and work on the rest down the road. It's too bad I can't find the fiberglass pods in 8"... I can only find aluminum ones in 8". Would subwoofers sound good in aluminum?!
Should sound just fine in aluminum as long as there's no rattley bits. I'd definitely recommend some blue loctite on all the bolts for the pods though! I had a galvanized steel box briefly. Looked coolant sounded fine other than the fact that the sub was blown.
Looked up the adapter that works. Its the PAC SWI-jack from what I'm reading. A quick Google should find it and more info. I also read something that said newer head units may not even need an adapter. Dunno, really. Disco is my only vehicle with steering wheel controls and the PO installed the head unit so they don't work. Worth looking into.
