Default The Infinity's are good, but I'd also check out the Rainbow Audio SLC Series...

They have gotten very good reviews over on caraudio.com. Also they are a bit cheaper that the Infinity's. Low $200 range for the front components.<ul><li><a href="http://www.caraudio.com/forum/">http://www.caraudio.com/forum/</a</li></ul>

You'll have to do some custom fabrication to install 6" speakers up front.

I put the 2 OHM seperates from Infiniti in the front, it was 5 1/4 and 1" tweeter.. Was pretty easy to fit in.. I was going to replace the BOSE amp but it now sounds sooo good I am perfectly happy...
The Infiniti 2 OHM seperates are like $150..
Do it and you will be HAPPY..

Default look on some car audio sites......there are better things out there than those

Though I will admit I've had Infinity speakers in the past and they aren't too shabby.

The only reason I went with the Infiniti's is because they are a 2 OHM set up where most speakers are 4 OHM's and the BOSE amp is designed for lower impendence...

So, whatever you get, try to find a 2 OHM set up unless you plan on replacing the Bose amp soon..
