New Speakers
After talking and writing with a number of folks who got new speakers the bug bit me so I got a pair for the front.
I got the Boston Acoustic FS80's and I must say they are pretty impressive. I was on a limited budget so I held off on an amp but I must say, even with out an amp these sound really nice. They are component however the woofer is a 5x7 and there is a tweeter. They come with crossovers and I had the tweeters mounted by the door-handels. This works out perfect for us L owners because you get components without having to have a plate built for the woofer.
To see these bad boys go here:

With just the stock headunit they sound great and if you are listening to cd's press the #5 button "comp" and it really boosts the sound.
I left the stock back speakers intact. Moved the fader up 1/4 to the front and it's beautiful. Much deeper bass and a lot clearer highs. Maybe someday an amp will be added but if you are looking for a way to upgrade the sound system and don't want to get into an amp addition, I highly reccomend this.

Here are pix of the tweeter placement.
They came with a couple of different sets of outer rims and the ones I used are at an angle so they point inward. The first pic show the tweeter from an angle so you can see how much of an angle the tweeter is. It sounds quite good with the tweeters in this placement.
Here is what comes in the FS80 set:
------------------
2000 Silver Lightning
#2372 of 4966
SnugLid
BedRug
dual Ravin Z-33 Exhaust
Valentine 1
Hyper Bright Headlamps and Foglamps
Mobil 1 Tri Synthetic and Mobil1 Filter
Mobil1 FactoryFill Plaque in Engine Bay
Matter/Antimatter Exchange Unit
Thinking about those Nitto Tires
