Default speakers in the door....whats does everyone have??

I have to repace these door speakers in the next 5 mins or I think I will kill myself! This is the sweetest car with the worst system ever. I know its a drivers car but come on....what has everyone done to fix this problem?

I am not sure which speakers everyone uses.....

but i am pretty sure we are limited on choices because of a depth issue of the speaker to the door .....

I put 6 1/2" alphasonik components in my doors with a new head unit. Had to build a 3/4" spacer to make up for the depth and installed new baffels and the door panels fit like a glove.I replace the head unit before the speakers and it sounded tons better already. Goes to show you how big of a piece of crap the factory head unit is. The speakers topped it off though.(no amp even!)

Infinity Kappas are a good/common choice.

diamond components, I love them!


-eclipse HU, eclipse amp, IDQ 12 in the trunk, and a sub amp for it...

DON'T BUY ECLIPSE HU!!!! Incredible sound, but they only read cd's every 9th monday of the month... Less than a year old, and it won't even read normal disks let alone MP3 ones.

I work for an Eclipse, Diamond, Focal Dealer. Never had problems with Eclipse reaing disks. Send it out, thats whats good about there 3 year warranty.

Utopias are a little over kill for the S. Youll never hear there full potential in the car. Convertables arent the best for sound quality.

Oz Audio Martix Elite 180 CS in the front. They're 7" components and fit the Lucid adapters.

My Eclipse HU has always read disks...

Kenwood Dual Mags.

Fit perfectly, hooked to the stock receiver....but meh...it sounds good for what is there.

I have a sub, amp, power cap, and receiver boxed up in my garage I could install...but I would rather have the top down and engine screaming than an all mighty sound system.

I have the yellow 6.5' Pioneer componets in the doors of my s2k and they sound awsome. Also have some 5.25 coax pioneers behind the seat with an Alpine HU, and alpine v12 amp. Sounds great, and I can hear it loud and clear with the top down and J's racing exhaust.
