Not sure if they're the best but you can't go far wrong with Apline.

I dont think you'll have a problem getting yourself some bose speakers then, i think the fitting will cost you quite a bit though. I'm not sure of anywhere that deals with these but i know they are standard in the new Porsche's and the sounds is f~'kin amazing....

Hmmm, trouble is you are very, very limited by what you can buy cos of the odd size, 6x8s for the front, not many do them really, alpine, kenwood and pioneer do, i have the kenwoods, they are very good and a million times better than stock. They were 55 quid irc. But carfeul as the speaker is very close to the wing mirror and the vibration is quite bad in them.

Again with the rear, limited a bit by the od size but more people do the 5x7 speaker, i went for alpines but if you ant to go that bit more expensive then these might be worth a bash...

JL Audio Speakers

As for fitting, just take them to your ICE dealer and they will fit them for you as i bought all my stuff (inc head unit) from that site above and then got them to fit it, cos quite a bit tho but they fitted everything including amp and sub. Shouldn't cost no more thana 100 quid i would have thought, but the rear speakers are a right bugger!

Also, if you are paying ou that much money for speakers, you really should power them with an amp, a head unit will not do them justice in the slightest. You are paying for quality speakers, and sending them inferior sound. I have one of the most powerful head units on the market, the alpine 4x50 unit, sounds awesome and is very loud, but still doesn't match up to the sound of an amp. So if you aren't gonna amp the speakers, i wouldn't bother paying over the odds for them, just go for the still ecellent kenwood, alpine or pioneer ones. If you are going to amp them, then pay as much as you can for the speakers!
