[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8598967, member: 650438"] dont swap anything out. Your stock setup will sound better unless you plan on shelling out 500 dollars to do your audio system right. Otherwise there's a high % chance that your new speaker swap will sound way worse than your stock speakers. Most beginners dont know that if you plan to swap speakers, you cannot do a half @ssed speaker swap meaning. Door treatments must be used, an amplifier must be used and PROPER SIGNAL PROCESSING AND TUNING must be implemented. Literally would need a head unit swap or add a digital sound processor to start out to get a good signal along with the capability to actually tune the setup right, this makes the most difference. Then turn your door into a speaker enclosure with CLD deadener and Mass Loaded vinyl covering all holes and gaps, making a proper baffle to direct the sound inside the car so it doesnt get stuck in the plastic door panel. Simply put, just slapping on a new set of speakers will not get you any results. [/QUOTE]
