Alright. One last question. Which Boston Acoustics speaker should I get? The cheaper FX8 or the more expensive NX 87?

Thanks guys. Boston Acoustics it is. I have also heard only great things about them. It's funny you mentioned ebay. That's actually how I was planning to buy my speakers, because the prices are just too low to avoid. It's somewhat of a scam, since the shipping is $20, but it's still cheaper...

I would be extremely happy to purchase from Circuit City, but as I said, they only had 3 5x7/6x8 speakers, and one was a Sony. So my options would be exceptionally limited. Another thing is that I don't want to pay for installation. Accesing the speaker in my car is relatively easy, and I've...

Thanks Twisted. I apoligize if I came off a little rude. You've been extremely helpful. The main problem is: Circuit City only carries one speaker that I would even think of getting, Infiiny Reference. So I am planning to buy online.

Twisted, I think you may have misread my previous post. I never said anything about 6x9s, getting a sub (which I never will), or buying $300 speakers. In fact, I refuse to spend over $150 per pair. I have decided to only buy front speakers. That isn't going to change. So, my last and final...

It's clear that I don't want to spend a lot of money. So I was thinking I could get only the front speakers, and get really nice ones. Obviously, I only sit in the front of my own car, so it sounds like a feasible idea. Would have the old crappy speakers in the rear bring down the overall...

Thanks. That's a good idea. And I'm positive that my car has 6x8s all the way around (like all Fords). For some reason, 5x7s also fit fine. EDIT: Today I listened to Pioneers and Infinitis at Circuit City. The Infinitis sounded much better, so at least I have narrowed down one brand.

A few reasons: I'm trying to keep costs down, I don't turn anything up to high volumes, and I didn't think I needed one. As you can see in the pciture below, it would be quite difficult to install a new head unit due to the curved structure of the dash. EDIT: Just had another thought: Would...

See, the problem is, I really don't want a new head unit. I love mine, it looks cool, and I really don't want to spend the money for a new one.

Thanks guys. About the head unit: I am using the factory one, but in a way, it is better than others. It is made by Blaupunkt (and Ford) and seems to be much better than your average factory head unit. But I haven't been able to find any stats for it to prove that. Your posts above lead to...

Hi guys! I have a 2003 Ford Focus which I am going to get new speakers for. It currently has 5x7/6x8s, and I want a coaxial system of the same size for a simple installation. I am not going to be using an amp, but I never blast the speakers, so that's not a huge deal. I mainly listen to...
