I just put Alpine's in the soundbar a couple weeks ago and they sound great. Good value on Amazon.....

What do you have now, the stock non infinty? What head unit are you running stock? The rears have less power running to them from the stock head unit... Any 6.5 speaker will sound better than stock but with a stock head unit you might not notice the difference. What's your budget? Also you would get more results from the front speakers being swapped out..

No real budget...just don't want to break the bank. I just want some speaker that sounds more cleaner. Not really looking tochange my head unit. In the past, I've had my cars broken into too many times even with expensive alarms.

Great advice though. Does the stock Infinity speaks sound good or should I look into an after market speakers?

How did you install the speakers? Scooche seems to be the only part I could find to adapt the factory mounts. Did you just drill holes?

Alpine without a doubt. But!

If you're looking for just an improvement and much better than stock sound then the infinity system is the way to go and would be far cheaper than using alpine stuff. If I had the infinity system to start out with then I would have just left it as is
