Craig 80's speaker boxes!!! baaa baaawww! def lepoard and big hair, good. to. go!
but nah geek If I were you Id get some NS10m drivers or de-shell some genelecs and put those in, it would be like you never left the studio. just baffle them on the underside of the deck to keep the resistance on the drivers to prevent over excursion. That would be sick.
I don't listen to the radio I listen to the harmony of wheel rub and bumper scrapes. (I lowered the car too much! time for an adjustment)

EMS,
Ha! Those drivers are hard as hell to get now! I sold mine years ago. I'm using Focal and some old Blue Sky monitors now.
What would you guys recommend for a decent mid quality to high quality 6.5 component set for the front? I've had infinity reference 6.5" components before and they sounded decent. My dad used to compete in USAC competitions and focused in sound quality. His whole front stage was focal and he drove them with older original soundstream amps. I remember how crisp and incredible the front stage was in that car you could get lost in the music!

It's very hard to suggest a specific brand of speakers over the internet- Just out of curiosity what part of VA are you in? I have several friends spread out over the state that are more than happy demo some equipment if that would help. If you really aren't in a hurry there should be some gatherings or SQ events nearby this summer- be it IASCA or MECA.
I'm glad somebody brought this up, as I'm in the market for a system.
However, I'm on a budget, and I'm not an audiophile, so I don't really care about "the BEST" sound system, as much as I do mechanical-performance. I simply want something which sounds good relative to the OEM systems in 2015 vehicles; something that's of better quality than these '97 pieces o' crap I have now ...
That said, isn't Bose a really good sound system? I was thinking about taking some OEM Bose's from a more recent car, like a 2007 Infiniti or something, and installing those. I don't need anything bigger than the OEM sizes, but if I can find some 6" instead of 4", then fine; whatever ...
The only thing truly aftermarket-quality I prefer is the subs; so I may buy two JL 10's with a JL amp for the trunk, but first things first.
Yes, really good at marketing. I used to be a proponent of their tower speakers, until [massively] upgrading my amps and realizing how limited they are with a good power supply.
They're middle of the road, which is about where your satisfaction level will be. The problem is, is it worth aiming that low for the trouble of integrating an OEM system from a different vehicle? I think you'll get a better outcome for less money and less trouble with aftermarket items.
Think of it this way, the Bose systems of today are a product of the same marketing that was able to label our ridiculously poorly spec'ed speaker systems as premium back in the '90s. They're catering to an image more than a performance level.

Where can I get a better-quality 8-piece system for $120?
I'll buy it right now.
You can beat that fairly easily with used items, which would be the appropriate apples to apples comparison. But, I wouldn't count the amp and tweeters/x-overs as part of the eight pieces. They're simply throw-ins that aren't worth swapping out what you've already got. That price is nothing special for a pile of inferior used speakers. Plus, don't forget about the $23 shipping.
Isn't there an old adage about a guy with a horse and some water?
I am drinking for sure. Please keep it coming!
Best bet is to tell us what you already have. What your budget is. What your goals are. What type of music you listen to.
And we'll try and get you going in the right direction!
I have a JL Audio 500/5 and Eclipse SW7000 coming for this car. I also have a Pioneer TS-SW251 shallow mount 10' I've been sitting on. I am going to get a Pioneer App radio 3 most likely next. I want more powerful speakers in front and filler in back. The JL Audio will support this as it sends 225w up front and just 25w to the rear plus 250 to the sub.
I mainly need to figure out which sub to use (or both) and new AWESOME front speakers that can take 225w up front and configuration.

Alright... If this were my car and I was trying to do a decent sq build on a budget here is what I'd do....
