Default Replacement Speaker

Anyone know a cheaper place I can get a front Bose 8 inch replacement speaker? Mid America has them priced at $130 ea. a little high I think.

"No highs? No lows? Must be Bose." If you are in the market anyway, replace the stock speakers with aftermarket stuff. You will get much better sound at a far better value. Bose is crap. I'll be replacing mine soon hopefully.

Nice offer by USARMYTTT. If that doesn't work out for some reason, try giving Gene at the Karshop a call.

I know that feeling the rears are going on my 2003 Vert. It is still under warranty, I just can't justify spending the money to get replacements, when I can get them for free!
