Eddie,
Thanks for the feedback, as I said I am trying to keep this simple. I think you are right, I will go stock and leave it be. I have a 76, BMW 2002 tii, that I went crazy with the tunes, so on this I am trying to keep it simple, being that it is such a strange setup and in the event I sell I dont want to get in to deep.
Thanks
Terrako Stallings

Really, with the stock head unit, go with stock speakers. The stock headunit, amps, and speakers are weird enough, that you cant save any money AND get anything nice; you either get something crappier for a little less money, or something slightly better for a LOT MORE money.

Jonathan,
I would like to keep the factory Becker 754 unit as my head unit, would you happen to have any suggestions for using the head unit and adding or changing the factory speakers?

The rears are 6.5's, fronts there is no direct drop in...we mod the front speaker housings to hold a 4' mid which then makes the speaker a direct drop in. Now you also have the other problem of the factory speakers are 2 ohms and anything aftermarket will be 4 ohms..so it never Really sounds all that great. My advice, if you want to keep it simple get some good factory speakers...these stereo's are really an All or Nothing affair IMHO.
I'm partial to MB Quart Q's and Morels (ONLY Euro Morel, not US!!!)..but each needs external amplification.

I am replacing the speakers is my 87-560-SEC. Can anyone advice me as to what size or on any specifics as to what brand or size I should be looking for? I dont not want to have to cut anything, looking for something I can just swap out with the factory speakers front and rear, keeping it simple.
