[QUOTE="BnGRacing, post: 7480901, member: 557400"] Ditch the Dual HU. No sense in buying $3-400 speakers if you're going to run them off of a HU like that. For speakers, I'd go with 5.25" components. Mount the mid where the 5x7 used to be and put the tweet in the factory location. For the rears, some boomy co-ax 5x7's will be more than enough. If you're looking for more bass, buy a subwoofer or you'll end up roasting your new speakers cranking the bass-boost up to compensate for a lack of low-end. That may have been what did the speakers in to begin with. The Dual HU probably didn't help manners from a distortion standpoint either. You don't have to spend a lot on a HU, just get a quality one. I purchased a used Eclipse for $50 with shipping and there's a number of very good HUs out there under $150 if you take your time. Alpine, Kenwood, Clarion, Pioneer, etc. all make nice stuff. Dual?
