[QUOTE="SaulTurnedPaul, post: 341959, member: 551079"] I think I can probably handle replacing the speakers myself. I don't think the door panel needs to be taken out on the 'Bu but I'll make sure this evening. By the way, I do like the factory speakers for their mid/high output, but the low end is almost saddening. On any kick drum for any type of music it sounds like someone is hitting a coffee can. The thing is, I have an Onkyo surround sound system at home with an active 150 watt 8" sub and that does just fine for me, so I figure that a single 10" will be plenty for me in the 'Bu, especially considering the music I listen to. I'll definately look online - it seems I can afford an MTX, Sony, Pioneer, Kicker, Bazooka or RF. Which one of these would be the best?
