The stock oem speakers are tiny 4" ones. Get some bigger ones like 5.25 or 6.5 and you need to fabricate your own baffles like I did.. It might take a little while to do the baffles but it's fun.

You can go up to 6.5 inch speakers if you have a custom baffle plate. Make sure to use a 1/2 inch to 1 inch spacer ON TOP of the baffle plate. This will make sure that the magnet doesn't hit the window as the window is being lowered.
