Dennis at DD sells Kicker replacement for the door speakers and rear speakers. I have seen numerous threads where guys have posted the best $80 they ever spent.

I was getting a little "hum" with the OEM Bose speakers. I replaced them with Boston Acoustic (same size) and they sound good.
Now I don't blast the radio either, nor do I have any other audio equipment installed..........Good Luck with your choice.

The Kicker speakers clean up the mid and high ranges nicely. Does not help much on the low end, but I wasn't looking to do that anyway.
Not going to win any audiophile contests with this simple mod, but a nice upgrade for not much $.

Once the speaker covers are back on, you cannot tell the difference from stock, which is what I wanted...
