Speaker advice needed...

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

fronts ARE 4x6, but the bolt style is metric, so if you can find those types
of speakers they will fit properly and you wont have to cut away part of the
adapter plate just to get the cover back on.

i got kicker 46m speakers and are very happy with them. as long as you have
a closed hatch (with the rear seat and hatch cover in place), they make very
good bass for their size.

speakers that will fit:

> OK, so I'm looking to replace all my speakers.  The rear ones sound ok,
but when turned up with bass... horrible.  And the front ones seem to give
no bass what-so-ever.  I know the P.O. put in some 4x6 Pyle Drivers in the
back, but am not sure if he changed the front ones.  I asked last week on
teh list and was told that the stock front speakers are 2x3, euro/metric
size(?).  I've been looking online and can't find anything in a 2x3 (euro,
metric, or otherwise).  Where can I find them that size or what can I fit in
the door panels without changing the plastic grill that goes over them?
Also, what's the consensus on brands?  It's been a long time since I've
looked into these things and would like some input.  Heck, I just removed
the stock stereo last summer!  As far as the back, I'd like to keep the 4x6
size as I don't want to cut or change anything.  Also, I've acquired an amp
and a couple of 12" Xplods(?) [all free!], so bass isn't really that much of
an issue, speaker wi!

the choice of speakers):  Rock (old and new), Techno, and talk radio (well,
Don and Mike).  I'm not really into the hip-hop/rap scene, so although I
want my bass to sound decent, I have no desire to let the whole neighborhood
listen in.
