Default Lotsa people have ditched 'em. I replaced factory speakers w/

Diamond Audio Hex 4" in the factory doors, D.A. Hex silk dome tweets in the factory locations, and then made fiberglass pods to house D.A. Hex 5.25" in the footwells. Sounds a little better than "symphony" now . This was, of course, in addition to ripping out the rest of the stereo. I don't want to give you the impression that this is all it took for better sound.

B

P.S. That is one BIG sig! :O

Default Try to find one out of a junkyard to replace the blown one...

Seriously, if you set the EQ up right, the sound systems sounds great!
