i installed my radio already.. will put some pictures later.... now seeking to replace my oem rear door speakers since i replace my front door speakers with infinity 5 1/4

im thinking in buying some new infinity (i like that brand ) 6 1/2 if not jbl, jl or other brand that you recommend that is good....... impedance should be 4-8ohms... any suggestions in brands or model...

Infinity is good, as is JL. I have no personal experience with JBL, so I can't say from me. But, I do remember my brother, who worked at Tweeter (when they still existed) as the 12v audio specialist, always gave JBL the nickname or "Junkey But Loud"laugh.gif

I've had good luck with RockFord Fossgate, but I don't know if they make door speakers anymore. Alpine is great, but IDK if there is a dealer for Alpine in PR. You can see though.

infinity and jl are far more expensive then alpine... can the alpine be as good as the infinity or jl even tough that they are cheaper...?

m interested in something like this .. http://cgi.ebay.com/JL-AUDIO-VR600-CXi-6-INCH-2-WAY-CAR-AUDIO-SPEAKERS-PAIR-/270358104066?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item3ef2994802#ht_1580wt_913

alpine is good cheap; infinity is cheap good... so ya, they can be decent...

i had infinity kappa 2-ways front/rear and hated them but it was an admittedly bad setup.

get a good amp to match the speakers and you'll get decent sound either way...
