Default 5.25 component speaker recommendations
Going to be putting a system together, looking to keep the entire system under $1K, of which I'm willing to put about $300 towards a set of 5.25" components. Any recommendations?

IMO $300 is way too much to spend on the rears, either of the Polk 521 speakers HERE would be nice (speaker choice depends on amp ratings).

Rears? I was going to put this in the front. This is not for a Corvette. It's for an E34 BMW M5 (1993).
