What are the best speakers?
I have Rockford Fosgate fanatic series speakers/tweeters in my 99 max now, but I am looking to get something better and able to handle more power. What do you guys think would be best for replacing the 2 fronts/tweeters and the two rears. Thanks,

Brad

I would go with Focal or Kicker they both make very good speakers, they are both very clear but expensive.

If your going to replace the tweet up front get rid of the mid too. Get a nice componet set up front and if you really want rears don't put a tweet back there. What ones you get come down to money. How much?

Dynaudio or Focal Utopia. CDT is a nice brand for the price as well.

I was looking in my Stepmom's Volvo C70 the other day and I found out that it comes stock with Dynaudio speakers. As well as Dolby Pro-Logic but I think that was an option.

Focal are nice speakers, but whew they be expensive.

Focal is nice. Wanna hear somthing really funny? To bad I'm gonna tell ya anyway. Dealer cost on the uptopias is 200. Retail is 1400( i think) not a bad mark up a?

I agree. I use a Precision Power PC 450 to run my Pro's. I want to upgrade to a newer PPI amp though soon. Either that or Xtant.

That's craaaaazy on the markup! Good lord. 200---1,400 whoa...
