I'm gutting out my Bose system...
i need to know what front and rear speakers i should replace the stock speakers with. Any recommendations? Brand? what you guys use?

1995 maxima SE/w Bose ( dont want the bose system)

 

It really depends on how much $$ u want to spend. I personally like MB Quart speakers and tweets, but they can get expensive. Boston is good to.

 

I use Diamond Audio HEX. They have a low line (reasonably priced) that actually beat the MBQs in a sound comparison. Feb issue Mobile Entertainment.

Right now I have Polk MOMO but I just ordered Focal Polykevlars. I like the Polks but I wanted something better. It's hard to recommend something without knowing how much you want to spend though.

 

I guess for the 4 speakers inside...about....$400 - $500
Is that being too cheap?

 

Not at all. You would do very well with that budget. Shoot me an Email, I may be able to help you a little.

No, for that price you can get some great sounding speakers and a nice amp to drive them. The Diamond HEXs that Pearl has are supposed to be excellent, I considered them but I knew someone who had Focals and they sounded great so I went with those. Whatever you decide on, make sure you hear the stuff before you finalize your decision because with the higher end stuff everyone has a different preference. When I was looking for new components I considered Diamond, Focal, and Crystal (if you want to save some $ they only run about $150 a pair.) If you get a really good set of components like the ones mentioned, make sure you give them a lot of power (~100 watts RMS).
