Best Buy?? Don't put any of those in your car. Being a very picky car audio freak, the best speakers I've ever owned when it comes to the "bang for your buck" have been the infiniti kappa series.

6.5 components in front and 6.5 coax in the rear side panels.

Get 2 ohm if you have the Bose system and 4 ohm if you have the non-Bose.

You can just change out the speakers if you want. Make sure you get the polarity correct.

Those are the reference series and not the kappas, night and day difference like comparing Luciano Pavarotti's voice to Usher's.
Those are the ones circuit city and best buy carry. Had those in my accord in high school and burned them out over and over because they couldn't handle the minimal power I was giving them. The kappas on the other hand just scream louder as you increase power, even better than the set of MBQuart QSD series I paid over $400 for years back.
