I bought some Pioneer Premier component speakers that came with 6 3/4inch 2 way and 1 1/8inch tweeter (we made them fit). We used the brackets of the stock speakers by cutting out the old ones. The crossovers are mounted under the dash. The sound is very good up until the volume level of around 28 when the tweeters start popping. At first we thought the tweeters were blown but we hooked them up to a 200w system and they sounded fine. I am guessing that the impediance mismatch you guys talked about is the cause. The speakers are rated at 4ohms but I guess the head unit is 8 or more?
Anyways I am waiting for the debut of the new Pioneer head units that will be announced this weekend. Hopefully the new ones boot up quickly. The navigation and back up camera will be very nice as the huge blind spot is still scary when backing up.
