Default BEST Speaker system for C5

Hey guys,

Just wanna know what kinda speakers would you replace your Bose speakers with. I like the front ones...they, ok...(sort of). But the rear ones dont have much punch.... I wanna know what is the *Best* way to go, and what to put in the 99 coupe.

Thanks..

P.S: Can you suggest a good place/site where I can get a real good deal..

I like the JL xr653 system for the front

6.5-inch (160mm)
3-Way Component System

and
the xr400cx for the rear

and a 4 channel eclipse amp for the front and
a memphis d class for a sub such as a JL 12-w3 or w6

I would use all Diamond Audio Hex series seperates with a four channel amp. I have been doing stereo's in cars for 13 years and I have them in my Tahoe and I am going to put two sets in my 99 A4. I have used all sorts of different speakers from all the major brands and noithing comes close to Diamond Audio. They also make amps and subs. Very clean sounding speakers and they love a lot of power. I live in Ca so I am not sure were you could go to pick some up around you.
