Decent Rear Speakers?

Ehh whoever had my car before i bought it, didnt kno u can damage your speakers if u turn them up to far .
I figured i could get a pair at walmart for 20 bucks cheap, but would they even be worth it or should i get some good ones for a little more?
What speakers are good, but not wicked expensive?
They are 6.5 inch right?

I'm also an Alpine person....but if you don't have a deck and just looking for sound...get the cheap pioneer at walmart or whatever they have. Stay away from Sony...garbage IMO. Have a Sony HU in my old car and it's horrible.

If you wanna get a good all around system go to a car audio store and by a lower end alpine HU, and some decent speakers. I personally love Eclipse speakers since I don't amp mine and I have 3-way 6-1/2 in the front, which you'd get all around.

Thanks guys...ill look into it...like cross country said, im not lookin to buy speakers that are like more than 70 bucks honestly...i just want somethin good that wont rattle alot when i listin to stuff with alot of bass on it.
Im into thrash metal and hardcore stuff...so theres plenty of double bass in it.
I just want somethin decent, but not shittier than what i have you kno?
Actually, from what i hear, sonys are like some of the best u can get for the price...45 bucks at walmart for 2?
Thats a good deal IMO.
What about lightning audio?

yeah in a coupe the fronts are 6.5 and the rear 6x9. the only thing is not many 6x9's will fit in the rear easilly since the magnet will hit the metal bars in the trunk.

heres a how-to when you get there

My 6x9 fit but I didn't install them I'll look to see how close they are when I go to my car next. I got all 4 speakers installed for $300 (previous post for details.)

Get some "Bass blockers" and hook them up with your new speakers. They block the really looooow bass from going to your speakers. They will last a lot longer and sound better at higher volumes.

You can pick them up for cheap at most audio stores. Couple of bucks each. WORTH IT!
