[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8516487, member: 628688"] Skipping a subwoofer and an amplifier are both going to kill the goals of clarity and sound quality. An X2800BS does not make high quality power on its own for good sound quality, and expecting full deep bass out of 6x8s is going to hurt sound quality as well. I'm not trying to shoot this down, but rather present some real limitations so you can have proper expectations when you replace the speakers. I've had clients really enjoy JBL and Cerwin Vega 6x8s, but they always got a subwoofer to fill in bass below ~80 Hz. JBL offers good sensitivity for being powered by a head unit, along with Cerwin Vega Vega series speakers. Infinity should deliver similar results for the money. If you go down to 6.5" round speakers to expand your options you're going to have the same limitations of no real bass and the need for a separate amplifier to get better sound quality. Don't forget the sound deadening. At least use some good quality mat with butyl rubber backed by thick foil. [/QUOTE]
