    Prolly true, but it pays to have one friend who owns his own shop and another that installed them for 10+ years.
     A deals a deal no matter the outcome.

    In the mean time, I'm shopping 6X9's

    I'm a cheapskate too, I built my 'cuda audio entirely from components I blagged from scrap cars for free.  However, the other day I finally had to admit my shelf speakers were not up to the job.  So I decided to actually spend money on it.

    For value 6x9s I decided to try the JBL GTO series, so I've now got some 3-way JBL GTO-637s in my back shelf.

    They're rated at 100W rms, which is easily enough for me - for the money I paid I'm really pleased with them, they have some quite hard bass (I don't have any sub) and they stay clean as loud as I will ever want. 

    Before I got them I read some good reviews and I have not been disappointed, although I am of course only comparing them to free junk yard speakes (but to be fair my previous speakers were a good make - just a bit too old and small - LOL).

    My home speakers are also quite old (and good) - they're Mission Argonauts my dad gave me.

    Like this:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Argonaut_loudspeaker

    They were £700 a pair in 1987 - that's equivalent to about $1,500 at that time.

    My dad is a Hi Fi nutter - he once paid £485 for a turntable needle cartridge !!
