[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3158419, member: 561023"] I have essentially the same car ('95 Geo Prizm). You'll want to ditch the front 4" speakers and make yourself some adapters/baffles to upgrade to either a 5.25" or 6.5" speaker. Coaxials or components will be up to you with the latter, obviously, generally being more costly. Your rear 6.5" spots can work fine if you're going to do rear fill of any kind. If $150 is your top budget right now then I would suggest keeping the stock rears (crap) for now and concentrating on front stage. For under $100/shipped you could get a set of Phoenix Gold RSd 6.5" components off of eBay and then that would leave you $50 for wiring and such. They [I]can[/I] run off of the headunit but to extract their real capability you'll want to invest in an amp later on down the road. Well, this holds true for pretty much any aftermarket speaker you could buy, really... [/QUOTE]
