I just bought the door panels that make my car a 8 speaker set up, I'm trying to find good quality 4 inch speakers, and then the 8 inch speakers as well. if you could advise me on what might be good. I read the article at the top of the folder and the guy mentions the kicker resolution series but i think thye dont make them anymore. I just dont want to get a set of 4 inches that sticks out too far so i thought i would see if anyone else has updated theirs. Let me know!

Oh ... I was gonna suggest a low cost FULL set up:


2 – 8” JBL GTO804 Shallow-Mount Subwoofers
2 – 4” JBL GTO429 2-Way Coaxial speakers
2 – ¾” JBL GTO19T Tweaters
2 – 6 ½” JBL GTO638 3-Way Coaxial Speakers
1 – JBL GT5A3011 Four-Channel Amp

- Use your head unit to power the rear speakers (GTO638), the upper door 4” speakers (GTO429) [use the connector that would normally go to the lower 6 ½” speaker], and the tweeters (GTO19T)
- Mount the amp (GT5A3011) under either seat and use it to power the 8” subs (GTO804)

You could probably do all this for around $400 - $500 if you price shop online. (Not including Dynomat door kits ranging from $50 - $100 plus shipping per door) And this is a SUPER cheap set up that will sound AMAZING!

Even if you JUST buy and add 4" speakers, your going to need a separate amp to power 2 of the eight speakers.
