What watts are the speakers? I just don't want to install the MB Quart speakers I bought if they aren't going to sound good with the factory amp. I was hoping for an improvement from the Infinity, but I wanted to keep the factory amp until I could afford (or convince the wife mostly) that we need to replace the amp. I have found an infinity reference 5 channel amp that would work great for 210 shipped, or the Alpine PDX-5 for around 350 shipped. But then you have to buy the factory harness adapter to plug in the amp for it to work and that is around $90-100.

Tweeter Upgrade
I have the stock factory system. The speakers in the dash and sound bar have been replaced with the Kicker Upgrades. (A very nice improvement by the way). I was amazed at how cheap the standard speakers were, so now I am looking at the tweeters and wondering if I should spend $ there.
Can anyone recommend an upgrade that will be a significant improvement without breaking the bank? Also how are the stock tweeters wired into the rest of the system? Are there crossovers or would I need to install those as well?

I'm in on Tweeter suggestions as well. These stock tweets SUCK! I can't take the cracking much longer. My buddy has JL Audio in his but I don't want to drive 2 hrs for a tweeter upgrade. Maybe I'll make another visit to my local stereo shop that did the other upgrade....

New Memphis M-Class Tweets were installed this morning. They sound amazing. So much better than the stock Infinity tweets. $130 for the pair. Only thing left to do is change out the sub. Going to install an 8 inch sub into the factory Infinity box...

To the tweets only.....I was really happy how they turn out. Not to mention the sound quality. The Memphis tweets are pretty heavy compared to the stock tweets.
