I'm looking for a good speaker upgrade to use with the factory Pioneer unit in my '06 box. Not wanting to add an amp, just better speakers.

Anyone have recommendations?

Thanks,

Jim

Honestly the factory headunit is the weakest part of the factory system. With a new headunit the factory speakers sound much better.

I also agree. The speakers are probably the best OEM set you'll see this side of $30k, really.

Even my relatively inexpensive, four year old Aiwa head sounds really good with them. I do recommend adding at least a modest sub to fill out the bottom end, though. It makes a world of difference.

Thanks.
