I've got a 2000 Chrysler 300m that could use some new speakers, the passenger door speaker is blown and I might as well just go all out and replace both door speakers and the rear speakers while I'm at it.

 

I will need 2x 6 1/2" speakers and 2x 6"x9" speakers, the 6 1/2" being for the front doors, and the 6"x9" for the back of the car.

 

I'd like the speakers to be from either amazon, newegg, or bestbuy, and I'd like the pricing of the front and rear speakers combined to total less than around $125 USD or so.

 

From my understanding I'd be best off with 3-way speakers, though I'd also like them to have a decent amount of bass to them, but not enough to be way overpowering or anything. (If I need an amp to power them, then go ahead and suggest one as well, I'd prefer it if it stayed under $50 USD or so.)

I do plan on replacing the stereo receiver of my car, probably with something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-MVHX560BT-Digital-Media-Receiver/dp/B00GS80OQ8 (Has to be single din)

 

Thanks!

Honestly the internal amp on that is enough for listening by the "general public" and at that rate speakers don't really matter that much. If ordering online, Amazon, Newegg and Best Buy aren't the best places for that kind of stuff, Crutchfield ftw

 

The cheapest stuff they have for 6.5" and 6x9" only adds up to $110 for the 4, and is already plenty imo

And as above stated, consider a dedicated sub.

I would get a dedicated subwoofer. 

 

I plan on that in the future, I just don't really feel like dropping shitloads of money on it right now, I just wanna get my car audio to an at least decently useable level.

If you can, see what you can get second hand, in terms of both speakers as well as a sub (and accompanying box and amp). You'll be able to get much more for your money that way.

I bought a $60 pair of Pioneer 6.5's for my honda shitccord. They're clear sound, but the 25 year old factory speakers had a deeper base. I would suggest getting a dedicated subwoofer (but then you might have to diddle with amps), if you want clear audio.

I just wanna replace that damn blown speaker so I can listen to music without having to redirect all the audio to the rear of the car.. :/

 

Honestly the stock speakers of my car are not bad at all, I just feel that if I'm gonna replace the front ones I might as well replace the rear ones as well, though if you guys think I should, I might just stick with only replacing the front speakers.
