Well, I think my stock speakers are going out (ha.) I've had it for 3 weeks and already go out, as you can tell, I like to listen LOUD. Can anyone help me with some audio suggestions? And I was wondering if it was hard to put in the speakers yourself, or if somebody can give me some kind of tutorial in how to put them in the front door, or in the back. I want to put in some speakers that will push out more bass than what the stock has, but I'm not good with any of this crap, still new, you know. I also want to replace the stock tweeters, and get something better. I want to get an amp also, but not much for getting subs. Anyone have any suggestions?

Stock speakers going out already? I Highly doubt it.... but if you want to change out your speakers, then use the SEARCH button!

No need to act immature. And how do you know this? Have you heard my speakers in my car? No. I can tell they're about to go out, I have to turn them up louder and they are pushing out less bass than when I first got it. You could have acted atleast your age and gave me a suggestion, but instead, you acted like a 2 year old.

#1 Go to the dealer and have them replace the speakers. It sounds like you got bum speakers. (Unless you can't hear and have to crank the stereo. :P )

#2 If you really want to replace your speakers, go with these...

Polk db6500 (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-7lXoLzM1Ufc/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=52000&I=107DB6500).

As you can see by the number of positive reviews, these are good speakers. Buy 2 sets of these. They will fit up front and in the rear. I'm eventually going to get these.

Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it. It kind of sucks that I can already tell they are about to blow (lol) but I figured it was gonna happen since I do crank it because I love loud music. I'm thinking of just taking it to a place downtown and having them install speakers and give me suggestions because I don't like doing all the work myself.

sounds like you'd be better off going to an audio shop... be prepared to shell out some change though... most aftermarket speakers don't sound that great unless you put an amp on them... sure, there ARE some that will work with no amp, but if you want it loud, have them properly amped...

I'd suggest the elemental designs ed[i] 6500 front and rear. Then your going to need an amp so i'd get the nine.4 from ED.

Top of the line stuff at very very reasonable prices.

You can't tell when a speaker is "about to blow". They're either blown or they aren't. If they sound bad when cranked, you already blew them.

eD is a good recommendation. CDT classics if your budget is a little smaller.

I have a set of eDi6500s with a NINe.4 and the sound is mind blowing! I would recommend 6500s up front and in the rear, or to save money, 6000s in the rear. You won't regret it!
