[QUOTE="zako, post: 7472083, member: 629735"] Here is what you can try. If you're intimidated by the installation of component speakers, you can try to have a local car audio shop doing for you. I have seen some offering this service for under $100 (you can bring your speakers). If you have absolutely set your mind on coaxial speakers, there are two good options, one is within your budget and another is not. However, I wouldn't bother with $100 component speakers..
