Hm, I'm likely better off buying home audio speakers rather than building my own (whether with car audio speakers or home audio speaker drivers). Thanks.

I'm pretty happy with most of my components. I have a major TV upgrade planned, after which I'll have a system that looks something like this:
42" Panasonic plasma TV
Panasonic DV-578A-S DVD/CD/DVD-A/SACD
Outlaw 1070
Swans 2.1s (L/R)
Swans C3 (center)
inexpensive small dipoles (SL/SR)
inexpensive 10" subwoofer
no rear speakers
I think the next upgrade for me will be one of the following:
replace SL/SR speakers
replace subwoofer
add rear speakers
The various replacement SL/SR speakers I would consider are too bulky for my room -- I have no reasonable spot to wall mount side surrounds, and bulky surrounds are difficult to stand-mount at an appropriate height.
replacing the subwoofer with a nicer subwoofer is a good idea, but honestly I think I might prefer the more enveloping effect of adding rear surrounds as my next upgrade.
