Stock radio/speakers
Okay i have a few questions... I just bought a 2008 Coblat 2LT and i want to replace the stock speakers (4) any sugestions? (im also going to have 2 subs in the back, i already have them though, Kickers)... that leads into my next question can you hook subs up to the stock radio?
Thanks for help/suggestions

^^^--Agreed!
I have Infinity 6.5's w/3/4" tweets in mine and they sound great.
If you are looking to replace the stock speakers quickly then go with the same size as stock, a good set of 2 way 6x9's in the back and 6.5's up front, not sure if the LT has the stock tweeters in it but u=if so 3/4 inch.
Depending on how much $$$ you want to spend, Infinity, Facal, MB Quartz all make good front end equipment (IMO). If you are looking to spend a little less money then, some of the lower lines from Alpine and JBL are a little easier on the wallet but still sound decent

Your probably right, I didn't really look it up before I posted.
What I should have said was to get at least 2 way 6x9, this saves the trouble of having to mount tweets in the back. 2, 3, 4 way, doesn't matter, they will all get the job done.
However once you get up to 3 or 4 way I find it gets a little high pitched, for lack of a better word, it gets tingy, plus the more you add on the more power its going to need, I was trying to keep it simple and the price down.
I personaly took the stock 6x9's out and put in the Infinity reference 6020's (6.5's w/3/4"tweets) and mounted them right on the deck lid, the added weight helps with the rattle factor and plus there unubstructed

Yeah. Best speakers is a bit one sided for everyone. I like Infinity myself for aftermarkets. For OEM I like Boston. But whatewever you like/can afford is always a plus. Pioneer is good for the money, **** like that. Good luck. also, hopefelly those subs are 10's, because that cobalt trunk isn't too sub friendly. lol. My 10's bartely fit when I had them in...

I have 4 6x9's in my balt...the front doors i had to dremel out but they fit. You can hook up subs to your stock radio but your going to get a **** load of interference and shitty sound quality... plus you wont be able to tune the frequencies which pretty much defeats the purpose of getting a system
