Speakers & Amp

I'll throw my 2 cents on here. I replaced all 4 of my speakers with the Polk's listed below. I bought them through Crutchfield when they had a buy 1 get 1 half off. I had the Alpine's in my previous truck and they sounded very good also. A lot of guys on here have installed the Infinity's and they are excellent speakers as well. Look for speakers with the higher sensitivity ratings. You will get the more sound out of them without an amp. I didn't add an amp with mine but several have. Just replacing the stock POS' made a world of difference! Like [MENTION=99933]Franchi Motorsports[/MENTION] stated, Crutchfield is a great site. You do pay a little more but they include all the necessary wiring adapters and instructions for your vehicle. You will save a lot of money installing them yourself. Hit me up if you have questions along the way. Good luck! http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500SPS5...e-SPS-517.html http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DB57...dio-db571.html http://www.crutchfield.com/p_108R860...F-8602cfx.html

Just removed the stock Sony speakers and replaced with Infinity Reference 6832cf in all four doors. HUGE sound improvement over stock. Total cost was just over 100 bucks for all four with speaker adapters included.
Currently looking into the Sound Ordnance B-8PTD powered subwoofer for $200 from Crutchfield and they are currently including a free wiring kit with it as well.
So for about $300 total investment on my part, I'm going to have a good solid improvement over factory. It won't be anything crazy, but I've got another car in the garage for the crazy stuff

Yep, I was looking at the polks in jerparker's post, but having had infinity kappas in the past, I went with them. I couldn't be happier for $70!! I only replaced the front 2 as I might go a complete overhaul this spring. Night and day even with just the front two!! Make sure to get the metra adapter for $10 so you don't butcher your stock wires. These are crystal clear and really bring out all the notes. They do lack bass, but I knew that going into it!

You might wanna try two at a time as I just put my fade to 70/30 and use the rear speakers as some sort of bass.

The Infinity's I got from Amazon using my Prime membership for 51 bucks w/ free shipping. The Metra adapters are 72-5600 as is listed down further in the same ad.
Then for the Sound Ordnance, I am going to use Crutchfield since they include a free amp wiring kit for it too. If they weren't offering the wiring kit with it, I might look somewhere else, but you have amazing customer service with them and they will take it back if you don't like it.
