So that would be perfect, as the set comes with 2 tweeters also... just what I need.

Is Soundstream a good brand though? Never heard of it in use.

You'll need a good amp as well. Dont go cheap on your front stage. Its the most important part of the audio system after the head unit.

There are Pioneer TS-C504 5 1/4" component speakers on Ebay for 70 dollars with everything. Its jue they are 35W RMS power and soundstreams are 55W. Premiers look kinda old tho

Look into Pioneer Revs, or go with those soundstreams.

No, and probably will not until the purchase.


I have never even seen Soundstreams in stores.

Many of the brands referred to on AF arent sold in stores. Some are sold in custom stereo shops, but are usually overpriced.
