Can someone recommend some decent front door speakers for a WRX?

I have some very flash looking metallic cone type things in there at the mo but sadly they sound crap!

Cheers 4 that Alex. I'm afraid that I don't speak the language of ICE too well. Could you simplify technical terms like cross over for me?

Do you mean seperate A-Frame mounted tweeters? And do these feed from the door speakers?

Best front I've heard are Dyn Audio - a specialist speaker - these are £400 though - but much better than the likes of JL Audio - which after comparing them to Dyns - sound awful

Hi
Most people seem to go for infinity kappas & the like which drop straight into the existing door pods with little or no modification
However if its a budget speaker you want to go for then I can recommend pioneer ts-e1690
which sell for about 60 odd quid and are very good value for money IMHO

MB Quarts (you can squeeze a 6.5 component in the hole) mate - havent got the model.

I got a demo of 3 sets - Infinity / Boston and MB sounded the best (on a dance CD)
