They have been in the audio business since the 70's I believe, and really know their stuff.

I obviously don't work for them so that's not the reason I'm touting them, but it's because I have had very good luck with them in the past, and they have always been a great resaource to answer questions for the Audiophile in all of us.

I need to upgrade the stereo system in my new car (04 Cavalier) and will be heading to them and their catalog and webpage sometime over the summer to do so.

Speaking of catalog, they have a place where you can request one for free.
Check it out.

I have heard of crutchfield before, but even after looking at their site they are still a much high price then ebay. I have had good luck with the large dealers on ebay, and the products cost very little. I just bought this a little while ago today, and this is the second set of them I have bought, and in my friends car they sound nice. I just plan on using these under my front seats for now.

The only problem I have had is that most of the amps I am looking at are low priced higher end amps that are made for 2 ohm speakers which means I get alot less power out of the amp. So I think for these I am just gonna buy a 300W x 2 channel amp made for 4 ohm speakers. Which means I will have about 150W per channel.
