Thanks for the replies guys. Im not quite sure if i want to really upgrade the audio, im saving money for more important things (recently changed the leaking main heat exchanger, brake pads, brake disks, AOS etc..) and currently i think the Morot mount needs replacement too, but anyway.

I think ill stick with some "decent" used HAES speakers, that will simply do the job i guess. I find them in decent condition at ±120$ both, but again maybe the JBL are at the same price new. But im a bit lazy to do the DIY.. Hmm..

The jbl will be same cost new. Its not a hard job, if you order the mount kit from CAI take you an hour tops.

I'd still go with decent aftermarket speakers...if only just for the fronts. Think of it as a "phased audio upgrade" whereas the other components can be swapped later. Get some good input (and shopping list) of what the finished project would be, and then just swap out the fonts now. Look at it this way...if your there (and spending the time to do so) why not go ahead and put some decent components in...because in the future if you do a system upgrade, you'll be doing the same work, spending the same money and tossing some relatively new speakers in the trash. I'm a big proponent of doing something once...
