Default B5 A4 new front speaker

Hello:
I replaced both front door speakers last fall because my passenger side one had failed with some aftermarket ones. Now the same location, right door, has failed again. Any recomendations on a decent speaker? I have the stock Symapthy system, do not crank the system, and don't know why the replacement one failed so soon.
Thanks for your time.

Default Do a search about the hidden EQ and

You'll find some reccommended settings. The stock front speakers are puny and can't handle much bass at all. What I did was turn the bass all the way down for the front speakers and the highs all the way down for the rear, creating a ghetto crossover that cuts off most the frequencies the drivers suck at delivering anyway and giving a better front soundstage. If you're going to stick with stock size speakers and don't care much about sound quality just replace with a decent aftermarket speaker and use the new EQ settings and you should be fine. Make sure the speakers are mounted securely because they may have been damaged if not.

Default Thanks!

I did mount the aftermarket ones securely, so I'll go through and follow your instuctions with the EQ.
Thanks for your time and have a great day.
