Front Speaker Question

Hi, first off, what size our are front speakers. I am looking to replace just the front ones this weekend. I want to do the whole car but i am restricted with money right now. I also was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to which speakers i should go with. What do all you guys have in your car right now and how do they sound. Thanks alot

6 1/2" components in the front doors. I have ALPINE SPR-17S components up front. I picked 'em up new off of ebay for under $130. Sound is excellent!

Yup, we got 6.5" woofers in the front doors and 1" tweeters in the dash so for best sound go with a 6.5" component system. I went with the Polk MOMO MMC6500, they retail for $349 but you can find them cheaper though. I only paid $170 though cause I worked for Circuit City and Polk offers a direct from vendor purchase program so I saved like 60%!!

If you are not planing to change your factory HU and are just wanting to install better sounding speakers, then you need to replace them with 2-ohm speakers such as the Infinity Reference speakers or the JBL GTO speakers... They will dramatically improve the sound of your factory system...

No, I replaced the door speakers, the dash tweeters and the rear speakers. I did not replace the factory subs... I just turned up the gain for those... In my opinion, you really don't have to replace the rear speakers... those are more or less just for fill...
