Has anyone replaced their old speakers with the factory version? Mine are 20 years old, so the surrounds have to be shot. I would imagine anything would be an improvement.

Personally, I too wanted to go with the factory speakers but, after doing so, I found the sound quality was abysmal. So, I ended up buying after market speakers and modifying the mounting rings (very easy, side cutters, a soldering iron and adhesive). The after market speakers cost me $27.95 for the pair. Handle more power than the stock version and are full range, tweeters included. My 2001 S has no amplifier, just the stock CDR-220 head unit. Sounds awesome.
