Default front door speakers

does anybody have some suggestions to buy some good front speakers? i still have my stock H/U and everything except the front passenger speaker blew out and im looking to replace both fronts, does anybody have some goo ones in mind that will be a direct drop in? i remember seeing some JVC's at walmart that were perfect for mine for $39. i just want to know if anybody has installed something else and is a direct fit? thanks

just use anything name brand if you're only replacing speakers.

not trying to be a dick but even the best speakers on stock amplification and pre-staging will sound great.

If you want some sick speakers Kee Audios got a thing going on, the new cdt amp and some insane speakers for alot less than what they normally go for... A little pricey but worth it if your looking for it.... http://www.keeaudio.com/id81.html

I had my front speakers blow out on me and decided to change all 4 at once. If you have a Monsoon hu it will not be plug and play. You may need to buy an amp and have the speakers run to the amp then the amp to the hu (this is what I had done).... or else your speakers will blow if you just directly connect them (this is what happened to me the 1st time). I guess it doesn't work because the hu runs on different ohms or something. Btw, the hu says on it Monsoon if it is Monsoon.
