Whats your price range?

have a look on www.caraudiodirect.com

remember to check mounting depth otherwise the speaker won't physically fit :wink:

I got some Infinity 5012i from ebay the other day for the rears for £47 delivered (normally £70 everywhere). They sound really good for a 13cm speaker with much more bass response than I was expecting. Infinity manage to fit a bigger cone area into the 13cm area so this helps. I'm going to get the 5010cs components for the front next and give them a whirl.

Halfords almost never have competive prices on car audio. They tend to be so inflated that even when they say they have 50% off it's still more than you can get at a specialised car audio shop. Of course I may be wrong but I've never yet seen anything that I can't get cheaper elsewhere. If you can get them to price match a local retailer (for example Shrewsbury and Telford price match Bass Junkies in Wolverhampton) then that's a good deal.

I only just noticed you were from Churchstoke! :D

Halfords are good if they've got it in stock, but as I say get them to price match Bass Junkies and all should be good.

I had Vibe SA-K sreies in the front of mine and I was well pleased with them and they fitted a treat even after all the sound proofing i put in, well worth the money i.m.o !
