Default Rear speakers 2003 vert

What speakers would you recommend to replace the rear speakers with that would not require much modifications. Goal is improved sound from the rears, the rest of the system would remain stock.

Sorry, my first post was not very clear I should know better than to post late at night. I have the single CD/radio that comes standard with the car; no modifications have been made to it. The factory rears that are in the car now just do not seem to put out much volume or quality of sound. I am hoping that someone knows of a replacement speaker (make and size) for the rears that would fit without much modification and would improve the sound quality and be more efficient. Thanks!

Rear speakers by design aren't supposed to put out alot of sound. They are for fill, to unify the sound stage. Front speakers are what make the sound stage. If you find something lacking I'd be looking far more closely at the front than the rear. Most of the C5 guys around here don't bother with rear speakers at all.

Hi Scott!


Or maybe I should say "hallo"?



BTW, that's German. I'm such a jerk.
