Yes, I would recommend door speakers for low-end bass.  My setup uses
Sony midrange-bass speakers( mounted in the door) and  satellite
tweeters (mounted in the headreast).  I bought a second set of tweeters for
the other headrest.  The speaker set came with crossovers to split the
high and low frequencys.  This works well for me and I'm fairly satisfied
with it.  The only improvement I would make would be to add more midrange
in the headrest.  Imaging is pretty good with this arrangement
compared to what I've heard in other cars.

BTW. When installing any car stereo. Don't be afraid to remove the seats
and pull up the carpet to run wires.  It sure beats trying to fish wires
with a coat hanger. And Crutchfield has the best selection of wiring harnesses,
speaker mounting and deck mounting hardware I've ever seen.  Try them out.
