I'm looking to replace my speakers on my stang but I don't know which ones to get. I'm planning on keeping my stock stereo. I bought some Rockford Fosgate speakers awhile back and they sounded like crap. Has anyone on here replaced their speakers with after market ones recently? I want some speakers that sound clean not all distorted sound. I have a 02' GT with the Mach stereo. By the way I'm planning on replacing the speakers with the same size that are currently in the car. (6x8's) Any help is appreciated.

Its all personal prefrence. I have a 98' cobra with the the mach system and i added a filter to block out the lows from the upper door speakers and disconnected the stock amps and put a huge alpine 4 channel amp...alpine is very good but expensive....and a fosgate amp for my sub...rated at 746watts for one 10'inch sub...i replaced all internal speakers with mb quartz which are clen but also very basic upgrade. i have a pioneer deck and liked the sound quality a little better than with the highend kenwood i have in there now. it sounds good but the deck and its ability to really make it sound the way you like it is the only way to go...getting that clear sound without any distortion is the goal right/?...any aftermarket speaker...since your not upgradeing the amps...will work...and you can get a deck for about 2-300$ that will get it sounding great. GL...i hope my experiance has helped. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Eddie306</b> <br /><small>Member # 2354</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,0,18,21,57,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by svt306snake:<br /><strong> I LIKE MB QUARTZ FOR MY MIDS AND HIGHS AND JL AUDIO FOR THE WOOFERS JUST MY OPINION <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">+1 for mb quarts. 3 shops ive been to and i ask for there opinons. they always say mb quarts for your mids <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Chris C.</b> <br /><small>Member # 1949</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,0,18,22,25,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I have infinity Kappas in my coupe.
