Replace speakers front and back?

I have the 07.5 MC DRW SLT and want to replace the 4 door speakers. I have the standard stereo not the Infiniti system and want good sounding speakers with some good low bass. Who has replaced theirs and what brand do you recommend? Thanks and Merry Christmas.

infinity kappas- 2 way gives you better bass than 3 way.

Memphis Audio, but to get the best out of any speakers at least get an amp to accompany them or a nice stereo with a more adjustable EQ.

From: Indiana
I replaced the stockers with Pyle 6" components in front and 6" coaxial in the rear. I drilled a large hole in the door panels, just above the window switches, to mount the tweeters. These are not the Tiawan specials you find on the internet. These are the real Indiana made Pyles (no longer in business). I also replaced the head unit and added a 70x4 amp. I was planning to add a sub but now I don't feel the need for a sub because these things put out very good bass. I don't think you'll be happy with any speaker unless you add an amp. Do a search on google for "speaker world fort wayne indiana" This guy bought all of the left over inventory and has a limited supply of these. give him a call, you will love them.

PS. I would recommend puting 5-1/4" in the rear doors as they will be a direct replacement. I had to make some wooden spacers to get the 6" to fit.

i would go with focal or cdt. i would also get an amp to drive them with. they both require a lot of power. i guess it all depends on how much money your willing to spend.

Nod @ Focal and Memphis. A/B some amped Focals they are really quite nice.

If you want to stay sane and within a lower budget there are quite a few spks out there that would suffice. Infinity is nice but I wouldn't pay a premium for them. You're looking for a high-efficiency 2-way system with some lower response. Stick with the factory face stereo. IDK about where you are but aftermarket stereos here = broken windshield, ripped up seats and no radio within 6-12 month of installation. In the worst stretch I was ripped off 7 times in 4 years. If you want some real lower end I'd recommend some kind of small, under-seat enclosure with just enough amp to make it move. It won't blow any windows out but it -will- sound very nice.
