Speaker Replacement recommendations
Well i opened my door to get in my car the other day in the rain and it blew my drivers side top speaker.
Instead of taking it into the dealer and letting them replace it with the same POS speaker that couldn't take a raindrop in the first place i have decieded to upgrade all of the speakers in the car anyways.
I am looking to keep the NAV head unit and was wondering if anyone knew how many watts RMS it putts out. I know that's kind of reach but i am looking to go low rms wattage with speakers anyways, I'm sure that head unit doesn't put out much.
Other than that does anyone who has the electronics package from a 2010 or 2011 have any recommendations on what new speakers to replace the old ones with?

I was hoping to not have to run extra amps or anything that would complicate things, was really hoping for just a clean speaker swap.
What do you guys think about this setup has anyone had any experience with these?
replacement front upper door and rear deck panels

replacement 8" subs for the door kick panels

This looks to be the best option for a clean speaker swap without having to add or change out the factory amps.

Well i'm not one for patience, went ahead and order the speakers after finally finding someone with a 2010 nav system that just ordered the speakers i linked above and he said it sounded alot better.
I'll be sure to let everyone know what they sound like.

i hear those speakers are prett6 wicked. the kickers were def youre best choice for the subs, but the speakers could have been obtained cheaper..oh well. for what its worth Ive been running pioneer 6x9's for about 4 years now(in my 05), and they were two years old when i got them - $20 a pair (on ebay) and the highs are untouchable

I ended up cancelling the order and just going to take it into the dealer and let them replace the busted speaker, hopefully it won't happen again.
Those kickers were out of stock.

well pal, im running them off an infinity 6 channel, and while Im not looking to win any competitions, i was offering an affordable solution. frankly, i think my system sounds really good, and Im proud of all the hard work and effort i put into it. I could have gotten something more high-end...but its ultimately not worth it, unless you're an audio elitist.

I'm happy with the Shelby Kicker 6x8s, the 10" sub and the new 4.1 amp that powers those components. I can't recommend their 8" door subs when powered by the factory amps though.
