Rainbow Reference. They are a little better than Bose, but only if you power them from an Audison Thesis or better.

The doors are a 3.5" on the door panel and a 10" powered lump of crap in the lower door. The rear are 5.25" and the center dash is a 3.5".

The best thing to do is go to a stereo shop and listen to the different speakers and pick the ones that sound best to you.

But if you want the best or at least the most expensive ..... link

I guess those are OK if you can't afford the $10k for the Rainbows.
