          I would think condition would be more telling than age. Here in AZ they are ALL dust, back there in Mass, they are more likely in a usable condition

              Now these would fit in stock locations? I remember trying to fit a set of 5.25" speakers and the mounting brackets didnt line up.

                Since the Amazon speakers are sold out, can you help me out here.

                You will not find any other speaker on the market now or ever that has as much or as good a bass output as the as the stock PS speaker. There are MUCH better speakers out there, but none of them have any bass at all.

                You can run the PS mid in the rear location, just bypass the built-in crossover and loosen the panel, shove the speaker in place THEN mount the panel. Don't remove it completely, just get it out a couple inches.

                Can you clarify this? You are advising that I install premium speaker mids in the VERT rear speaker locations, right? And when you say "bypass", does this just mean that you plug the speaker wire directly onto the mid terminal? I was going to throw away some premium speaker mids, but I want to use them in my vert now.

                    So luke I have some like $50 pioneers in my rear deck (put into the stock premium housings) and stock front speakers.

                    2 questions:
                    Would the yellow speakers you posted in the first link be better than my cheap pioneers?

                    Would they be able to be retrofitted into the stock PS housing? (For stealth/clean look)

                        Yes, just look at the terminals of the speaker itself, you will see which 2 actually go to the speaker. De-solder the crossover bits as needed to get the terminal on the positive input.

                        Condition is condition: they are supposed to be nice and black and sounds nice. Scott nailed it.

                        Yes, but not much, especially in the rear locations. Nicer treble, but who cares aimed at the back of your head? Let me guess, you are having issues with tweeter protrusion, right? Use some 3M strip caulk or Nitrile rubber to hold the grilles on, just tiny tiny bits in the grooves where the grille goes.

                        Now, all of you guys who have a car with a roof: BUY A DAMN SUB BOX!

                                No, you would connect the stock wires to the crossover, then from the crossover to the speaker.
