Some quick info on companies winning awards: Make sure you see what they won the award in. If they won 9 SPL awards, chances are they will sound like crap, but they can get loud. Kicker is a great example of this. All of their stuff I used to install 5 or so years ago got really really loud, but sounded terrible compared to my current MB Quart speakers. MB Quart never had to advertise about winning awards, neither do companies like Focal. The industry just knows that they are among the best. LISTEN BEFORE YOU BUY. make comparisons. Also, if you plan on using the factory amp and radio, do not buy high-end speakers. The sensitivity of the speakers will be too low. Basically, most higher end speakers need more power to work properly. more inexpensive speakers are designed to work with low power. Boston Acoustics would be an EXCELLENT choice. Their entry lines have great sound quality for the money. They are actually what chrysler put in the 300 for the premium system. Dynamat is a great addition as well, and there is no better time to put it in then when the door panels are off to put in the speakers. I have a base model so I will not be too helpful with the factory amp, other than to tell you that is does have built in crossovers for the bass cutout and a pre-defined EQ that can not be altered. This is to try to correct the acoustical problems with the lower quality speakers. SO, installing the speakers to the factory amp will affect the way the speakers are supposed to sound. The nice thing about our cars is that they are installer friendly (about the only easy thing to do in our cars). A good installer can install new components witout affecting the origonal integrity of the car. I have installed a ultra-high end system in my car, and I did not have to make one modification to anything. I could remove the entire system, install the factory equipment, and the only difference would be the dynamat left behind. There is even pleanty of room in the door gromets to run better speaker wire to the doors. Any other questions?
