recommendations for speakers
Like the topic says. I've been looking at these Pioneer Premier TS-A642P speakers. 59$ for a pair is a good deal.
Top Mount Depth: 1-5/8" Inches
Sensitivity: 93 dB
RMS Power Range : 40 Watts
Peak Power Handling: 250 Watts
Impedance: 4 Ohm
Frequency response: 28-28000 Hz
Design: 4 Way
Woofer Composition: Composite IMPP
Tweeter Composition: Film Cone
Diameter: 6.5 Inch
can I run 4 of these in the doors and sail panels, i have amps and subs just checking on these. I'm guessing they're the right size. I plan on getting a new HU too.

To be honest these are not very good speakers. Are they better than factory? Probably but that is not saying much. I suggest if you are on a budget just go with 2 Inifnity Kappa's (62.7i) or Alpine 6.5" 2 ways both of these are decent speakers and will fit in the stock locations.
If you truely want a "good" speaker look at the Focal's, MB Quarts, and JL Audio. These companies also make 2 ways that will fit in the stock locations.
For a real high end speaker go with components and look at CDT audio or Morel. They will cost you though. Unless you are buying seperates stay away from 3 way or 4 way speakers in general. More drivers in a coax speaker is NOT better.
Good luck!

You can get the Kappa's pretty cheap on ebay. Another nice thing with the Kappas are that they are 2 ohm so they match well with the factory Monsoon amp to get you by until you replace everything.

I personally can't stand bright highs. It seems with 3/4 way speakers thats all you hear. As for the pioneers I can't comment on those specifically, but I did prefer the 2 ways over the 3 ways I had in some 6x9 years ago. Over brightened highs don't sound natural at all and make listening at higher volumes unbearable.

Speakers are a very subjective thing but I would say almost all people who are into sound would chose a Focal over an Infinity. To me they are in seperate leagues. But again, just my opinion.

JBL Grand Touring Series GTO607C Component system for the fronts
