Default opinion needed on speakers

do you guys think these are good speakers for the price? if not, what would you recommend in the same price range or less? also, do i need any special mounting hardware to put these in my c5z? i plan to run these and a sub with a 4-channel 4x100rms amp

IMO the polk db's are good speakers for the price (130 on ebay). Yes for more money there is better but IMO they are nice speakers ive used em in a few cars, actually had them in my DD for a long time and really liked them.

You need moutning plates either buy em or cut your own, its pretty simple to do

No doubt... but unless you take the time to seal the MDF/wood or make them out of plastic, they end up trashed.

Don't ask me how I know that...

VinceC5 is right about the plates... those things are solid! Highly recommended!
