$300 bucks to spend, any suggestions??? Ok, I have about $300 to spend on a sound system for my 99 firebird. I have an aftermarket head unit that puts out 52x4 rms, and the stock monsoon system. I just want to replace the speakers for now, mainly the back ones. Could anyone offer me some suggestions as far as what to get for the rear and front speakers??? Thank you!

I wanted to try the Polk db750's but the RFs I had laying around fit perfectly so I used the $$$ elsewhere. You should be able to get 4 good speakers for $250 retail, with some ebaying/bargain hunting you'll have enough left for other goodies.

I have had nothing but bad luck with them and quit using them years ago.
.... check out the last 2 page of the thread above someone already tried the audiobahns and they sucked Trending Topics

If you can swing a little extra check out the focal 165ca's for the front, some focal 100ca's for the back and some kind of sub for the sail panels, you will not be disappointed.

wait a little longer and save up some more money, what ever u get for $300 u will only like it for like a month then want to upgrade and end up spending alot more money.
if u must only spend $300 then look into a single kicker 12" or 15" comp or comp vr sub in a ported box.
for an amp look for a older fosgate 500a2 or something along those line. it should sound sweet.
