Hi guys,
Are these a good quality speaker. I have heard a lot of good things about Kappas. How good are these?

Yes, the Kappas are nice, but I would upgrade the 4x6's in the dash before the 6x9's. Both at once would be even better. The reason for this is becouse most of the sound you hear comes from the front, the back speakers are just there to "fill" in the space behind you.

Almost any aftermarket 6x9 would be an upgrade over stock.

Thanks for all the replies!
Yes I am going some new 4X6's as well. I am looking in to get some Kappas for that too. Also after that what I am planning to do is modify a new deck to fit the stock face. I a think there was a person on here who did the same thing. That way no one will suspect any thing. Then I am going to do an amp and two 12" subs hidden in the trunk.
