kenwoods are good speakers, but the lowest model kenwoods at walmart arent the best but they will still be a good speaker. check out crutchfield.com they have alot of stuff and have a little chat thing where u can talk to people and tell them what you are looking for and they will help you out for price and what will fit in yoru car and all.

Infinity Kappas /thread.

Seriously, I have them in my 98 GT and they sound awesome. Way better than my old Alpine and Polk systems sound.

I was able to find a jl audio sub and stealth box which goes right in the corner ofthe trunk and blends in with the same carpet. Its about $650 on their site but i would just look on craigslist for some subs. For the speakers I would go to the closest audio store. You can get them replaced pretty cheap or just buy your own there which would be even cheaper and would be better than going to walmart, DONT go to walmart for speakers

look on craiglist. Im always a fan of jl audio. just found a w6 for my girlfriend yesterday for cheap with a jl audio amp. If you cant find jl audio go for alpine. DO NOT get sony explod. Everyone gets it and its cheap crap.

Go to crutchfield.com and they have alot of good stuff for car audio and they usually can work with you to get a good setup for your car, but I put boston acoustics in my car for all 4 speakers and they sound really good. There were about $100 bucks a pair.

I'm running the 5x7 kappas front and rear, through a infinity reference amp, and a 10" infinity reference sub through an alpine amp, with an alpine deck, I'm pretty pleased, it has pretty clean sound although not high end. I talked myself out of going focal, I didn't think I would be able to appreciate the difference in my mustang, but I now think I was wrong lol the 10" sub fills the sound in pretty well without being too loud but still rattles the trunk a little.

... And they were a nice improvement over stock even before the amp was installed. I'd say pretty good for not getting too expensive.
