Not sure what others think of this , but Bose / Harmon Kardon spent a lot of time and money to build the speakers for the car to get the correct air space and position them in the right areas. They are just under powered and need an amp. I think you should just get an amp and power the stock speakers, it will sound a lot better.

I too was very unpleased with the stock speakers.......they don't get very loud because the amp wouldn't be able to produce enough clean power, so it limits there volume.

I normally always upgrade the speakers, but with the suggestion of my audio tech I tried just powering the stock speakers with an amp and I was amazed. They really sound good and full. Added 2 12" subs and it sounded even better

almost all speakers cost dollars to make, except for the expensive ones that are for SQ freaks, and even those are only like 20 bucks
