So what size fits for us? Front and back?
Rockford Fosgates eh? I might think about it. How much they run? I've got a nice Kenwood 600 watt Amp on my JL's so I wanted to stick with Kenwood, but I can change.

i havent done anything sound wise to my tib yet except for head unit, mainly because im poor, so i dont exactly know. got to www.crutchfield.com, enter the car info. under "what fits", and it will give u sizes and speakers that fit. i know the backs r 6x9, im pretty sure the tweeters up front r 1", and im pretty sure that that the midbass speakers in the door are 6.75".
thanks for all your input, I have been out of the car audio scene for many, many years now, so everything is kinda new to me. Quick question, what the hell are "compontent" speakers? All I can see it that they are a hell of a lot more expensive.
oh, Solo-Baric, what model of rockfords do you have?, there are 2 different price ranges.

component speakers come as a midbass speaker and a tweeter seperately and have an external crossover. the other option is a coaxial speaker, which includes the midbass speaker and tweeter(s) all in the same speaker. the latter usually has an internal crossover which i think(someone correct me if im wrong) is not as effective at seperating the frequencies. the component set will almost always sound better but u usually need to mount the tweeters somewhere, which involves a harder install.
Thats what I thought "componet" speakers were. I had just never heard that term before. I am just used to them called 2 way or 3 way. and seperate Tweeter. I think I might go with a set of 3 ways. seperate mid and tweets in the same speaker. I don't feel like installing the tweeters in the stock holes on the dash.
