Message	Okay, I didn't search because stereo equipment is out dated 3 months after you buy it. What do you guys like for the front doors? I have 14 year old Kicker 6-1/2" midrange that are retrofitted because they are too deep for the Bose housings. I feel like I'm loosing sound because they are just screwed into the door frame. I'm looking for the best speaker that will fit the factory housing because I *think* I will get better sound being enclosed. Not concerned with money. Just want the best that will fit. Thanks.
