speaker replacement recommendation

'97 Expy EB with Mach stereo. I'm wanting to replace both front and rear door speakers and the sub. What do you guys recommend? What size of speakers are in the doors. I know the sub is a 8" from reviewing old post but cant find anything on the doors.


This is what I was thinking of for both doors if they will work?...
kendwood KFC-5708c 5x7" speakers

For the sub, i was thinking of the Kicker CompVR CVR8-2 dual 2 Ohm voice coil sub.

I have a 97 also. It has the MACH system in it as well. I loved the features of the factory stereo but hated the sound from the speakers. I replaced all mine with Infinity's. I installed 6 1/2" components in the front doors with Xovers. And 5x7's in the rear doors... I think the model was 6802. They are 2 way speakers. I then ripped out the factory sub and installed a Sony 8". The sound difference is incredible! It sounds like I changed out the entire system! Highs are crisp and mids are awesome! The sub works well too! Look into them if your seriously wanting to change your stockers. The components are $110/set and the rears are about the same price. Yes they cost a bit more $$$$$ but you'll love the difference!

I have only replaced the sub, replaced it with a memphis audio dual cone 2 ohm . This sub is so much better than factory and was only $75.

Speakers

I have an 04 expy w/ the lowball head unit. I installed 2 way alpines $110ea for circiut city and sound is better. Bass could use some help as well as separation with the tweeters down by your feet.
