If I remember correctly the amp only puts out 22W RMS, so 180W speakers (probably peak, so 90W) would require more power to remain constant. Not that its a huge deal (Im currently underpowering subs) but you may want to find something with less peak/RMS. Im picky with speakers and usually stick with Kicker, but you should check out Kenwood or MTX as well. Try to find a speaker to match the current amps output. Or buy componet speakers with amps all ready to go. Hopefully this helps.

Pull them or one out and go on ebay or amazon to check the size of the mounting. Having it in your hand is real handy when checking the connections to the leads and size / spacing of the holes. If I ever get to mine Iam adding the caps to cut the danm base, too too much. Woody

You mean having an extra 15 minutes? That little panel on the upper corner pops out and give instant access to the wires..

These are the speakers I installed and they sound absolutely great.

Plug-n-play. Correct impedance too.

These Infinity's are quite efficient. Their power handling capability is really not an issue.

Much louder (crude way of putting it!) for a given "volume" setting than the OEM things. And much better sounding. Try it-you'll like it!

Exactly how hard is it to swap out these speakers? Do you need to remove the door panel? How easy is it to pop off the speaker trim ring? That would ultimately be the deciding factor to replace, if my speakers are not blown.

will get you there...

There is a sticky for the door panel removal. It will get you there...
