So i took a long trip to Homer from Anchorage (4hrs each way). By then both my rear door speakers were already blown (actually blown channels in Bose amp) and my two fronts were intermittently working, so that made for a very long trip. Mind you i never drive this thing anymore. But as soon as i got back home that night I ordered speakers.

I've been eyeing some speakers and decided this time to pass on the generic pioneer, kicker, alpine, etc speakers and went with CT sounds strato series, which is their mid grade components. Great price and great reviews.
Old Bose....that still worked!!! I'll give it to Bose...they make one hell of a speaker.

So far they sound great just off the head unit but you can tell they're hungry for more power @150rms. So near future I might be looking for an amp for these.

Looking good man, glad to see you back after the spam attack. PPI makes some really nice cheap 4 channels amps. When I was competing PPI amps had one of the cleanest signals and the adjustable crossovers were dead on.

Looking good man. How much do those speakers run? I’ve always run Pioneer and been happy but wouldn’t mind trying something new

So while I had the panels off I took advantage and copied a @Fosscore idea and plastidipped the speaker area and grille. Thought about putting a bow tie begins the grille but wasn't feelin it. But very happy with the end result.

Easy and why not. Doesn't get touched or handled. Fosscore's is holding up great.
