Good speakers for straight factory swap.

Hey guys, I got a new car....2013 Forte Koup. The stock system is pretty good, but I have 4 Cadence 6.5's layin around that I'll be swapping out once it warms up. What're some low watt speaker suggestion that I can just swap in and not have to deal with running them all to an amp?

What the f**k is an appropriate signature supposed to look like?

Using the Cadence temporarily since I have them, but I'm looking for something of a little better quality.

Stock, that's the only reason I'm not amping it for now....if I replaced the head unit, it'd make the car look reallllly stupid.

Let someone else chime in... I really cant give a honest recommendation with your criteria. Factory amp?, head unit power?, factory speaker impedance all will affect your choice.

Why not run a line-output converter from your factory head unit, then run an amp to it. You'd still get to keep your factory head unit, and be able to amp your speakers.

The factory amps usually have built in cross overs that you can't change. It would be better to just bypass it and use your own amp.

And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle ;)
