Default What size speakers in 08 coupe

I went to the local audio store to see about adding a amp They said to use the factory speakers and add tweeters. It's a 08 coupe base stereo. Does this sound like a good idea. He also said there is 6.5s up front. I thought there were 3.5s also.
Thanks Tom

That person gave you bad advice and bad information. The fronts have 3.5" "full range" drivers and 8" subwoofers (10" in the Bose) and 5.25" speakers in the rear. Also a 3.5" in the dash.

Just adding tweets will sound god-awful. Read this to get a general idea of your choices.

I found out the hard way, some places talk the talk...
Komoman helped me out of my jam over a year ago with his knowledge. I took my car to a different shop with that info and now I have a system that absolutely rocks! Read Komomans site, he knows his stuff.
