Did a search and found mostly very old info on the subject. I'm wondering if anyone with the hi fi package has done a speaker upgrade recently. I looked at Crutchfield for compatible speakers, and they have a lot of options for the woofer and rear speakers but nothing for the midrange speaker or tweeter. Their woofers do have integrated tweeters, but it's not clear to me if the 993 woofer connector will mate with the new speaker, and if it does will the integrated tweeter work? My head is starting to hurt. Has anyone done this within the last 3 years or so?

I did this in the last 2 week but didn't touch the tweeters or the rears. I have the 490 hifi and replaced the mids and subs in the doors as when I did the gasket change out I realized that the paper was shot in the mids.

I used the same speakers listed here

Thank you.

I don't know how I missed that thread. It didn't show up on my Google search.

The OE amp uses a separate channel for the woofer vs the combined mid-range and tweeter. In addition, the tweeter has a passive crossover behind it in its housing. If you find the refresh with stock drivers using the existing amp inadequate, a simple, and good upgrade is to swap out the amp and the speaker boxes. The limitation of the system is it is underpowered and has a minimal low-end response. If one removes the speaker box from under the cover and just puts a good 2-way coaxial aftermarket speaker on a one-inch extension ring in the pass-through hole to the door cavity and replaces the amp with one that is 75 or greater watts per 4 channels or 150 into 2 for just the door speakers the sound quality will be vastly improved. Also since the speakers will still be under the carpeted box covers it will look stock,
