It would definitely benifit from a subwoofer as the Extremis can't quite cover the whole bottom octaves on it's own. 

I would love to install my speakers like that....1991 honda crx

I think I want to modify the above layout; I would rather it be a 2 1/2 way system with a second mid-woofer crossed over to produce bass: frequencies below 200hz, while the first mid-woofer will handle all of the mid-range. I believe this will better fit my space. 1991 honda crx

Somehow I missed this post, Steven.  I'm eventually going to get to that level, but I have to take widdle baby steps to get there.  I just have to experience a catastrophic failure doing it this way first.  (...or it could be that my ears are very forgiving!) 

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

You should be able to do it for pretty cheap.  And even if your measurements aren't very accurate due to sound car, microphone, etc. issues, it still will be more accurate than using the manufacturers curves.  Here's a link to some software: http://www.trueaudio.com/  Note that I have not used this software before, I just know it is available for cheap.   And here's a microphone: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=248-625
