I have Boston's at all four corners. The dash ones were a VERY tight fit, but they sound awesome. I dont think I have ever heard such a great sounding 4X6.

I had Infinity Reference series quite a few years ago (1997, I guess?), they really put out some "sweet" highs. Blew 'em out by getting mad one day and cranking the volume all the way up; I was too mad to care. After that, I replaced 'em with a set of Pioneer 4x6's.. don't remember the model name off hand; I think that was around 1999. They also sound nice, but the highs tend to get a bit harsh. I think I'm just underpowering them, though. Both fit without modification to the dash. Avoid plate speakers, you might have to chop up the dash a bit.

Listen to 'em all at the car audio store! (And then go elsewhere for a cheaper price, heheh)
