Hi Guys (and girls), My 2010 SS BA front lower speakers have blown. I'd like to replace them w/ aftermarket speakers. Everything (in terms of the audio system) is stock on the car. I'd like to replace the tweeters and mid range on both doors. What sub $200 speakers do you recommend? I don't want to make my own brackets or anything like that. My plan was to use the "free" adapter brackets Crutchfield supplies. I've read that the BA speakers are 2ohm and some 4ohm speakers have issues. Ultimatly, I'm just looking for guidance from someone who's already been here. Thanks, Neal

No one? I thought for sure I'd at least have one good response after a full weekend! Crap...

I wish i could give some help, but I only have the factory BA speakers, as I have a focal system on the way. U could try Infinity, kicker or alpine. Several good brands out there

Rockamakis · 10-01-2012, 03:15 PM

I would look at infinity or jbl.

I'd ultimately like to keep everything stock and just replace the drivers (mid and tweeter) in the front doors. If I ABSOLUTELY have to, I'll install a small two channel amp to drive the components in the doors, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. Thanks!

I would definitely opt for a component set, not coax for the front.

There are a few options from Crutchfield that drop into the factory location with just the supplied brackets.

Polk Audio db6501
Infinity Reference 6030cs

They are both under $200 and have great all around sound, as well as smooth sounding tweeters that aren't too harsh.
