Hi All,
Saw this posting:

& just thought I'd spread the word. Yes, as a few have
posted, the stock speakers are 4". The problem
everyone is aware of, is the front spreaker
grille/dash clearance.

I found some Alpine 4" 2 ways with the perfect depth
on the grilles. I bought them over a year ago & I
threw the box away, so I don't remember all the
details.

They were $50 bucks or less for the pair. I think they
are 40 or 50 watts. I bought them at The Goodguys
electronics store in Seattle, I think it's a national
chain.

They sound good, would be better with a more powerful
amp. But way better than stock. I remember I had to
make the hole a little bit bigger because the cone
itself is a little bigger.

If I get a chance, I'll pull one off & look for a
model #.

Happy hunting.
