[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 7960417, member: 628688"] Unless you find a component set for a special price, say a closeout before new models come out, I would put money into sound deadening before replacing those Polks. Some CLD tiles, closed cell foam, and mass loaded vinyl from [URL="http://sounddeadenershowdown.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?_scb=1"]Sound Deadener Showdown[/URL] would really make the bass response pop more than you'd ever get from a $150 speaker set alone. You might be able to reuse the factory wires, but you should check with an Ohm meter to make sure the woofer and tweeter aren't wired in parallel. You need separate wire pairs going between the crossover and each speaker. [/QUOTE]
