Pics of the stock speakers, FYI!
Replaced all 4 speakers today with Polk Audio db651 speakers. The stockers, although Pioneers, were INCREDIBLY cheap looking/feeling. Front had a plastic cone and a halfway decent magnet, rears were a terrible pressed paper cone and a tiny magnet.
I THINK the reason the stockers sound halfway decent is the thorough sealing the have to the door frame and the door panel. You cannot really do that with aftermarket speakers.

Looks exactly like the stock speakers on the tC. Even the plastic mounts look the same.
Were the front speakers bolted or riveted into the door?

Of course, it was moved from the kitchen to the basement circa '92.
Since then, I smear vaseline on the lens of any camera that might catch a glimpse...
J/k on the "Pops" comment.

Can we do these for the front? Polk db6500 component set
I was thinking of doing those and then Polk db650 for the rears, give them a decent amp to work with as well...
As always, help is appreciated.

Could you post pics of the new speaker install?

I am sorry, I did not take any pics of the install; I wasn't planning on a DIY...I should have though. It would give djbombsquad another thing to complain about...unbelievable.

Still better than $60 at crutchfield.

I picked the 651 model because they have aimable tweeters, are completely diff/better in construction, and have better specs. I was going to go with 650s till I looked into the 651s.
