Whatever you do dont get sony or kenwood or any of that ****.
Get good quality like MB Quart, Harmon Kardon, or somthing along those lines.
Get quality no matter the price. If you cant afford the good **** then wait untill you can!

Before some of you guys go spouting off BS, do your homework first! I've been into car audio for years and have run MB Quart, Boston Acoustic Pro Series, Diamond Audio Hex, and CDT Audio separates in *other* cars, however, when it comes to sizing and fitment for 3rd gen. RX-7s, you have to keep in mind what will fit and what won't.
ijneb: If you're pulling out your Bose ("Blose"
) system, you can fit 5.25" up front, however, mounting depth is just a little over 2" so you will have to run a shallow speaker. Most component speakers with big magnets will NOT fit. Check measurements and buy accordingly! Trust me, I've looked far and wide from Dynaudio to Focal, etc., all the highly regarded speaker manufacturers, and just about no one makes a 5.25" woofer/coaxial around 2" - 2.25", closer to 2" would be ideal for proper fitment w/o issues. And BTW, rear speaker size is 5x7.
I have the same Infinity REF6802CF 5x7/6x8 coaxials in the rear panels, and in the front I have Infinity KAPPA 52.5Is. For reference, I used this fitment guide on the Infinity website to see what in their speaker line would fit. Crutchfield and Sound Domain also have this feature, but I did not care much for the speakers that they carry or their pricing (the same REF6802CFs are more expensive @ $75). For the rear panels, it also shows the REF6800cs' as a fit for the rear panels but I would forego those for the REF6802CFs because the former is a component set and IMO it's pointless to have separates in the rear because 90% of what you hear comes from the front. Anyway, my $.02. Good luck in what you decide to do.
