I just replaced the speakers and head unit in my wifes 98 explorer. What a difference!!! I put (4) 6x8 infinity reference speakers and a pioneer head unit in. The speakers(all) were under $150. I got'em at best buy. You will also need adapters for the new speaker connections unless you cut off the factory harness. The adapters are only like $6 bucks a pair.Might as well do it right. You can get a pioneer deck around $100 at wal-mart. It's alot better than stock. But you do not have to replace the head unit if you don't want to. But that's what I suggest. You'll be impressed.

To find out for any vehicle what size speakers your car will hold for front or back use www.crutchfield.com i think they are high priced most fo time but you can get the sizes from them as you select your vehicle before it shows you what type of speakers.

The Infinitys are nice. They are actually 5x7's, but come with a 6x8 adapter ring. They are efficient 92db/1 watt and have aimable tweets. www.ikesound.com is a inexpensive place to get them. They are 4 ohms.

I did 4 Pioneer 2 way 5x7's, an Alpine CDA-7892 am/fm/cd and the Alpine XM tuner in my Ranger. It sounds GREAT!!

There are two websites that can help you comparison shop for audio equipment online (or anything for that matter). You can shop by brand, price, etc. They compare prices from various stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, Ike Sound, (to name a few).

Hope this helps you find a great deal on speakers.
