Default Speakers are blown

Got a 99 TA and probably 4 out of the 6 speakers are blown. They sound okay with absolutely no bass, but the second i put a little tad bit of bass its horrible.

Im broke as a joke right now, but the sound quality is driving me insane.
Any ideas for a VERY cheap and relatively easy speaker set up i could do. Im not the best with sound system installation, Ive done it on previous cars but these birds are a little different.

keeping the stocker HU and AMP right now so just I need help figuring out whats gonna be a basic cheap/easy speaker swap....if possible

thanks

Default Speakers

when i bought my camaro a few years back the guy had installed some pioneer speakers they sell at walmart. im running them off a cheap alpine 100 dollar deck and it sounds pretty good with them in there. i believe you can pick up a set for around 46 bucks front and 46 for the backs.

I jus purchased some Pioneer TS-G1643R's at Best Buy on clearance because they are discontinued due to the new TS-G1644R. I paid 29 bux for the pair down from 49.99. They won't show their availability on-line so you'll have to go in to check. Hurry up!

I'm in the same boat as OP, can the 6.5" sail 'subwoofers' be simply swapped out with any pair of these Wal-Mart/Best Buy speakers?
