Audio: Door Speaker (no hi-fi option) Conundrum

have read all the posts on the subject. here is the question: could i get away with 4" mids/1" tweets in the dash AND in the rear seat area? i've read many posts that say "don't bother with the rears, you won't be able to hear them (i find that a bit difficult to believe, i hear them now). anyhow, my car is a coupe if that helps. i don't have the hi-fi option, i have the storage bins in the doors, i don't want to spend $ to buy the door brackets and have some custom install done for the purpose of adding a 5+" speaker down there, not worth it to me. here is my thought:

eclipse cd head unit
jl 5 channel amp
4" mid-woofs/1" tweets (dash and rear), focal?
2 x 8" sub enclosure for rear package shelf, jl subs?

i'm an avid reggae fan, so that's what will be playing most of the time. i've priced most of this stuff out, looks like i could get buy with spending $1500 or less. based on the above, does this system work? it's got to be better than the porsche CR 200 series system that's in the car now, no? i'm simply trying to upgrade what is in the car now without sacrificing the interior of the automobile

do you guys/gals think this would suffice?
