Check out any of the ICE websites! This forum has a hook up with Caraudiodirect for free delivery!

But Infinity's are good as well as JBL or Alpine. Whatever really that suits your budget.

I used to use Infinity but find them a bit bright and harsh.  Now have Rainbow comps in my Mk3 doors. Sound the business...

theres no way jbl's and original grilles will fit!! (Mine are jbl p-series.....and there not very flush fitting speakers!!). oh and infinity far out perform jbl's (there the same company..jbl is the more budget range)
