None............until you've heard some.

Get down to Halfords and play with their setup, listen to a few, choose by sound, not name. It's the only way

Well that's 4 decent brands for a start..........

I did just what I've advised, ended up with four Sony speakers, 'cost that's what I liked the sound of, chosen in a blind test helped by my youngest lad.

I still love the sound now, but I didn't BUY from Halfords

i'm confused, i thought the '60' in the 6010 means its a 6inch speaker,
and i thought the bugeye uses 6.5"

i think its a discontinued model , can't find it in the infinity site

hi again, sorry for being a ****, i'm not too good on cutting mdf boards for spacers, and the adapters i looked into may not be right too.
however i seen these shallow range from infinity which ( i think) fits the scoob without any adapters,
does anyone rate them.

or a weaker one

i think if your not fitting spacer/mdf rings,then you can only get 5.25 " speakers in the holes buddy,as the speaker cone will foul

Nip down to source(local to you ???) and get them to knock you some mdf rings up
