Default Speaker is jacked, what to replace it with?

I finally figured out that the middle speaker on the passenger side has gone out. I need something halfway decent to replace it that won't cost an arm and a leg. Any suggestions on what to get and where to get it. Oh, and are the middle speakers only supposed to put out bass? Thanks.

As far as I know the middle speaker is full range, the rear speakers are for bass only. Currently I have MB Quarts 6-1/2" and they sound great. I got them off e-bay brand new in the box for a decent price. Inifinity also makes a great speaker. Basically anything that you go with other than stock will sound great, but make sure you replace both rear speakers, not just the bad one.

My middle speakers only put out bass, the rears are full range, is this right?!?! Anyways, what size speaker will fit, are there any limits? I know NOTHING about stereo systems, I just want something a little better than stock.

www.crutchfield.com for the size, not the price, I believe 6X9 is what you are looking for. Yeah, buy a pair. IMO replace the doors and the pillars with some thing fair to extravagant-depending on your price range-I believe the Moser Hardened Axles are taking precedence over this? Yet you have a blown speaker tho...Priorities
