    You're going to want to run the speakers through an external amp...

    Makes them sound better! Also, get a JBL compoment system for the front like I've got in my truck, so you can replace the tweeters too...

    I don't need performance audio, I just want something that is good quality. I think your stereo system is inadequate for the old George Strait music I listen to.

    Also, the JBL door woofers I've got in my truck were considerably larger than the factory speakers. I've the JBL GTO 609C component system. My neighbor had to cut a lot of plastic out of the door panels to make them fit...

    Don't you mean overly adequate, or more than adequate...?

    Like I've said before, a system is overboard for 1970's country music. I don't even like to reach a volume level above 35.

    George Strait isn't 1970s!

    @ALI3N_123

    At least not the George Strait I listen too...

    The music of his that I listen to is from the 1980s and 1990s; "Heartland", "Write This Down", "True", "I Cross My Heart", the cover of "All My Ex's Live in Texas"...

    You should hear Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, or Charlie Daniels on my sound system!

    My favorite George Strait songs are: Fool Hearted Memory, You Look So Good in Love, Blame it on Mexico, Friday Night Fever, Love Without End Amen, Someone's walking Upstairs, Amarillo By Morning, Heartbroke, Lover in Disguise, Murder on Music Row, Here for a Good Time, Ocean Front Property, Am I Blue, I can't see Texas From Here, Does Fort Worth Cross Your Mind, Honky Tonk Crazy, Take me To Texas. These are the ones that instantly popped up in my head. There's more that I like.

    You're right...

    Sounds like you don't need a sub, but if you replace those speakers, you're going to want to install an external amp!

    Your speakers will start to distort without one!
