    The stock premium speakers hold up pretty well, I have mine running off an aftermarket amp, and they sound really loud and clean. (as long as you have a cross-over and throw no bass at them)

    I have a set of 5.25s waiting to go in, but these ones sounds good and they wont die. I was expecting them to blow a long time ago.

    Im sure they are better than any $50 speaker Wal-Mart has to offer.

        check out volfenhag. They are a pretty good brand and their stuff is really cheap ($). Its really good quality for the price and they are pretty high wattage to. They can handle base good and sound nice. The sound people think that volfenhag is going to be like the next rockford or JL.

          Volfenhag? I haven't tried them personally, but they look like crap.

          I have some wal-mart pioneers in my rear deck, and they have taken so much abuse that they gave me new respect for walmart.
          I can honestly say they've done quite well, considering I've tried a bunch of MTX and kicker speakers in their place, and the only speakers still pounding are the pioneers.

            I had some volfenhag's in the exploder i used to drive. It sounded pretty good. A TON better than stock.

                  Why are you even using rear speakers?

                      Cus he likes it that way. I dont use rear speakers... i dont really like em. To each their own Ken. If he is looking at getting $40 speakers from Wal-mart do you think he cares about a perfect image up front?

                        I was just wondering because it sounds better w/o them and that's $40 more that he can spend on the fronts...

                            i have 2 Infinity Kappa 5.25" in the front kick panels a 12" old school kicker comp with a sealed box in the trunk a crunch 300watt rms amp and a decent but cheap aiwa deck....im just looking for something to fill in the rear ...i dont really care about sound imaging because i mean i've had a big hole in my dash for the past 2 years and i finally got a deck so i decided to throw some money at a mutt system which actually sounds pretty good to be honest i want to put ones in the rear but i know they dont make much difference which is why i dont mind getting cheapo walmart speakers...i bought the rear speaker housings just so i could get rear speakers....eh
