Default best setup with stock head unit

Ok so I want to replace the speakers in my car sometime soon but I don't want to replace anything else at all. What is the best/most compatible brand of speaker with the stock set up? Thanks.

Another vote for Key Audio. I just installed his entire F-body speaker package in my 98 this weekend. Are your existing speakers blown?

Yeah, only one or two but I figured I'd do them all at once.

i have db6501s in front and rear. everything else is stock. sounds good, but if i turned them up loud with t tops off, it'll probably get distorted. in the summer ill probably get a 4 channel amp but unless you are turning up very, very loud they sound clear and very good.

Does the package that keeaudio have come with pigtails to just plug right up to the pigtails in the car already or do you have to mod the wires alittle? My drivers side sailpanel is blown and I have to turn the radio down low and the bass etc down in order to get a decent sound.

The factory speakers have about a 6" pigtail soldered to them with a connector that plugs into the factory harness. I cut the pigtail off the blown stock speakers and soldered it to the new speakers from Kee. You could also use crimp connectors to connect the pigtail to the new speakers if your are not comfortable soldering them. Kee does not do this for you. You will have to do it yourself.
