I am planning a speaker upgrade also, I plan to do all 4, have the GL air
conditioning in the back.

So a couple of questions:
1.  I read the reviews on the amazon link below, which are for Legacy LS328
3.5-Inch 120 Watt TwoWay Speakers.  How would these compare to the speakers
that GoWesty is offering at:
http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=23319.  These are "4" Pioneer
Premier Speaker Set".  Would the 4 inch speakers be better sound
(significantly more $ percentage-wise).

and 2.  I've been reading on the theSamba about replacing the wires that go
to the rear speakers.  Evidently it is necessary because the OEMs had a
common ground to both of the speakers, or in other words only 3 wires that
go to the rear and the newer speakers each need their own ground, or 4 wires
to the rear.  I haven't opened yet to see what is my my van, but was
wondering if anybody has any comment on that problem?

Thanks!
Roland
