Is this just to replace stock speakers? Or we talking about an entire system?

Polk audio.

A friend has them in his car... sounds awesome and clean. I also heard some good reviews on the brand themself.

I would go with Polk audio for sure then. If we where talking about a new system i would have gone with kenwood. That is why i asked.

Gotta say I'm a fan of Boston Acoustics myself. Had some Polks too, and Infiniti Kappas. BA's are the best I've had for car and home.

I'm with CommanderCOdy...both are pretty good, definitly miles ahead of the stock speakers.

Though personally I would go with Polk, as I used to have some Polk 6 inch speakers...excellent clarity...they are several years old, and i forget the model though.

also the most important part is...listen first if you can...as we can talk all day about what's best..but your ears are the true choice.
