The advice I followed was because it powered 320W. Also, if I wanted how would I go about putting 5 1/4" in a car door? I've been looking up good 4x6 and everyone says to put a 5 1/4 or 6 1/2 in there. If I could I'd put a 6 1/2 but I have no idea what I would do

well first thing that is MAX wattage, unless you are using max bass + bass boost and turning the HU up to max volume you will probably never see that, also because its Boss (not exactly top qual) you probably wont ever see that. are you looking strictly for mechless receivers?

as far as the speakers go what do your door panels look like? is there one big a$$ oval grille or 2 smaller grilles

so you have separate component and tweeter. you might be able to get away with an adapter plate to fit a larger speaker like a 5.25 or a 6.5 but you will need to take the door panel off to know for sure. if you go bigger you may need to relocate that tweeter and be left with an empty grille in the door.

oh and i need to ask the required question...what is your budget?

I don't want to spend too much, it's just the OEM stuff has slowly gotten to the point of complete horribleness and I need to upgrade. probably under $300

$300 for everything? speakers and HU?

also looking at crutchfield i think your speaker sizes are off. you may want to head over there and enter your vehicle info and make sure you are getting the right stuff.

check back afterwards.

After checking crutchfield, I found that Front speakers

Front Door: 5-1/4"

Rear Deck: 6x9"

I originally used modified life to find out that my front were 4 x 6.

The crutchfield details though, makes it much easier

Probably Infinity 529I 165W (Peak) 5-1/4 -Inch Two-Way Speakers (Pair) for the front then?
