Need Advice!?!?! (New Speakers) So here's the deal....I just bought a Pioneer AVIC-N2. I am thinking about what to do with my stock speakers....
I was thinking about how to go about replacing them....or keeping them...
Should I just replace the sail panel speakers? Or replace both the sail panel and the door speakers. Do you think I should get new door speakers and sail panel speakers and forget about even using the hatch speakers? What do you think?
I already have 2 12" subs in the back, and am looking for the LOUDEST, CLEAREST highs available.
I was looking at either Alpine, Infinity, or MB Quartz.....
If you have any personal experience please chime in!!!!
Plus, I am not looking to fab anything, I am looking for a direct "bolt-in" solution. I can do the wiring myself....
Thanks in advance guys!!

Oh, here is the pic of the Pioneer

I think you might prefer a component set with a metal tweeter as a starting point.

Since you already have subs in the back, you should concentrate on upgrading the door speakers for midrange and high frequencies. If you want rear fill then perhaps a pair of "warm" sounding coaxials (such as Alpine or Pioneer, certainly not Infinity) or even just component woofers or mid-bass speakers in the sail panels will give you fill without creating distracting highs from behind.

Audiophiles will tell you that the sound stage should be up front and that you shouldn't put anything but subs behind you (because bass frequencies aren't directional). The rest of us prefer sound from all around but even then it should be rear "fill" - not primary highs.
