Front speakers

Ok everyone heres the deal. My front stock speakers are junk and i want to replace them. Ive searched for awhile and I cant really find anything that doesnt deal with the pioneer system. I just want to know what would be a good sounding speaker replacement. Thank you in advance.

Infinity Kappas. The 2-ways are more than enough.

They're sharp and crisp without killing you on the high-notes.

Edit: Infinity changed their kappa speakers since the last pair I had. The ones I had used a woven CF cone for the mid. I'm sure they'd still sound great. Just wire them in like you would any other speaker.

Kappas all the way. Have a complete set sitting in the garage that could be swapped into the cobalt front and rear...whenever i get around to it.

You'll need the install kit (adapter you mentioned), a plug and play harness to keep things clean, and an antenna adapter.

Antenna:

If you know of any better products please let me know.

Also, what do you recommend for a plug and play adaptor. I do not care to keep my steering wheel controls by the way.

Thanks

That Scosche kit is a great fit... I bought some other cheap kit after my last deck was stolen... didn't fit quite so well.

leave both disconnected... as well as the illumination wire if it has it

our cars dont have a dimmer/illum since its all done with data. and the swc is steering wheel control for if your doing a steering wheel interface
