I also agree that the aftermarket offers FAR superior speakers and at much lower prices, but the question is are you sure youre not naive too? Speakers are cheap, I could swap all out of mine out too for a few hundred $$s. But if youre not also rewiring your whole car and replacing the amp with a much more powerful one, youre really wasting your time. Underdriving "better" speakers is also an exercise in futility and cash disposal. To do it right, you should swap out all of your speakers/components, rewire the whole car, replace the amp powering the speakers and add a new amp to power just the sub as well.

If you are doing that, then I agree, youre definitely going the right route. If not, then youre just wasting time and what sounds like $$ you likely dont have a whole lot of to begin with.

I'm only keeping the stock speaker cables.
I bought a kicker system rated at less than 1000 Watts and replacing speaker wires are not necessary unless i want to go competition.

2x components - front
2 coaxial - rear
subwoofer - rear dack or back of the arm rest (need to hear some input on that)
4.1 channel amplifier

Sorry about the confusion there. Will create a thread and will let you know how it goes.
