So, I recently replaced my 6-disc in dash changer with the new Alpine CDA-9835. Following this, I noticed my component speakers weren't sounding too well. I'm trying to find out what the size of the speakers is. I have a 2001 Convertible with the Mach system, as previously noted (I think the coupe's have diff size speakers). I believe that the speakers are 5.25" components. However, I was told that 6.5" ones would fit. I was also told that rather then replacing the front and back speakers with components, that I should just replace the front ones with component speakers and the rear ones with normal speakers. So basically, I want to know what size is stock and what size will fit. I also want to know what some good sounding speakers are for around 200-300$ a pair. I'm not sure if I should use Alpine ones, to go with my head unit, or not.
I'm also looking into options for subs. I had a previous custom box made that held 3 Kicker Comp10's. and went in the trunk. However, it was never secured right so it always slid around whenever I took a turn too sharp, or accelerated too fast, so it happened more then not. I was wondering if there is a better setup someone knows about that sounds good and for a reasonable cost. Maybe a few truck boxes, or what not. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks for the time.
