[QUOTE="acrbill, post: 11347978, member: 64379"] I made a thread awhile back asking about stereo upgrades to my base car. Since then I have traded up to a premium with Shaker 500. I love the functionality of the Shaker but it still sounds terrible. For now I just want to upgrade the front speakers. I was reading that you can fit 6.5" speakers in the factory spot with an adapter but using a coaxial speaker may lead to interference with the door panel because the adapter brings the speaker out further. I have my eye on Alpine SPS-610C speakers which have the separate tweeter. Here are my questions. I took a quick look at my car and two spots stood out at me for tweeter locations. I am definitely the type of person who does not want to cut a hole into something that is not easily and cheaply replaced. spot 1 is the power window switch panel. There is plenty of room there and the panel is probably cheap enough to replace if need be. spot 2 is the a pillar. They would have to face the windshield but they would pretty much be invisible and I would not be concerned about leaving them there when I sell the car. Or should I just go with a pair of speakers that will fit in the stock hole and not mess around. From all the reading I have done it seems that speakers will improve the Shaker 500 but ultimately the headunit sucks. Replacing the headunit is not an option since I like the functionality. Let me know what you guys think and if you have upgraded just the speakers let me know your combo and how you like it. [/QUOTE]
