You can get Sony's and JBL's that fit in the dash for £30 - £40. JBL do some that fit in the rears (6x4's). Have a look on caraudiodirect.com and check on here for the free postage discount code.

If your budget is really tight you could consider something like these for the front:

I put a pair of these in my winter hack and found some the same for the rear. Ok they probably aren't as good as JBL etc but for under £20 delivered for all 4 they are a vast improvement over the manky old ones. Coaxial with plastic cone and rubber reflex aswell!!!

Thanks very much, im not after speakers which are gonna turn any heads, just some ones that dont give out more static than music from the CD!

I would go for a pair of these:

and a pair of these:

It pays to get branded speakers, even if they are budget.
