what speakers to use?

Truck already has holes in doors of 72. Had bad set of 6" speakers in it. Don't want to cut bigger holes just want reasonable priced speakers to fit holes. I think 5 1/4 or 6" speakers will work. What do you guys recommend and where to buy? Pictures are always a bonus. One more requirement is to have fairly solid speaker grills. Last set kept falling off.

Please help.

Aftere Alex ( Alexis on these boards ) recommended MB Quart speakers, I wouldn't have anything else if I were buying them...

Do a search on E-bay for whatever size you want, You can buy a set of 6-1/2" components along with Tweeters.. Magnificent sound......

I bought 6" POLKS and 6"x9" POLKS. I am putting the 6x9's in the doors. I FILLED THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR WITH SPRAY INSULATION TO MAKE BETTER SOUND and to keep from getting wet. The 6"s I PUT WITH TWEETERS IN THE REAR PANELING BEHIND THE SEATS. I PUT TRIPLE INSULATION THERE, ALSO, FOR BETTER SOUND. Most good auto stereo stores carry POLKS. They have really good sound and won't completely drain your wallet. I boughtb 2 10" KENWOOD sub woofers from CIRCUIT CITY on sale. Those are going into custom boxes behind the seats with built-in power amps. Good luck.

Bob I'm gonna put JL AUDIO speaks in the swb, with tweaters and etc. Kinda spendy, but last forever and can take some abuse and sound awesome. My 2cents.
