Glad to hear you like them. Any louder at the same volume setting? Or just more clear? I've installed some that ran at a higher impedance before and had to turn up the volume to get the same output.
What's your opinion regarding this and year speakers, if you don't mind? Thanks

I installed the fronts today. Here's a comparison shot with the stock speakers:

Sound is much better. Clarity is vastly improved and you're able to take these up a lot higher without issue. I don't know when I'll change the backs, it may be later tonight at the earliest.

^ If I just want to replace the front speakers do I need to buy one of these or two?

So let me get this straight:
I just need to buy one pair and this replaces both front speakers? The link above has NOTHING to do with the rear speakers, right? A guy on the last page said he got these for both his front and rear speakers.

Yes, speakers come in pairs, so it will replace both front speakers. Rear are the same size, so if you bought quantity 2 you could replace all 4. I don't think most people will notice an improvement by replacing the rears. I would do only the fronts at first. Fronts are also a lot easier to swap out than the rear speakers.

The Rear Speakers are the same size and these can be used in the rear as well. If you are using your Factory HU there is really no reason to replace the rears.

My friend who is a mechanic told me thougth the rear ones would be easier to swap out. I wonder why?
What's a HU? Why won't I notice the difference with the rears?
thanks for entertaining my noob questions

The door speakers are in your face, so the improvement is more noticeable. Trust me when I say do the fronts first.

HU = Head Unit... the radio in the dash. They don't call it the radio because they are so much more these days (CD player/changer, MP3 player, iPod connection, Bluetooth, etc.).

I have also heard the the factory HU is filtering the sound going to the rear speakers so you are not getting the full range in the rear speakers anyway.
Replacing rear speakers would make more sense when installing with an Aftermarket HU.

I think moving the OEM fronts to the back will reduce more bass from the system. Holding both in my hands, the fronts are VERY light.
Also, those of you doing some DIY installs, I highly recommend the Metra 72-5600 wiring connectors. 100% plug & play.
