Default Best prices on speakers in Tampa/Clearwater/St Pete area?

Looking to pick up some decent stuff, as my stock speakers are blown. Not looking for anything on the level of top shelf MB Quarts, just some nice speakers to replace the rear door combo units and the component parts up front. Any suggestions?

I want to do the same thing in the new Ram....

Monitor/DVD single DIN combination - some nice coaxials with the ability to angle the tweeters, and a JL stealthbox probably with a kicker 5-channel amp I have.

Let me know if you find something decent around.

best bet would be to tour the shops around here, find a speaker you like, then buy it online for half price, followed by a brief period on your knees to get someone from in here to install it.

Will do. Might have some leads already.

Miles - I can probably handle the install...will be pretty basic stuff, nothing fancy whatsoever. I'm only replacing the speakers because they gave up the fight. I am in no way an audiophile.

Done about 20+ installs in my day - including some rather serious walls and amp racks - I think I can handle a head unit and coax's

meh... if you can afford arc speakers, you might as well get a set of DLS... you can get their audiophile level stuff for the price of arc's mid level speakers. talk to eddie for any amount of time and he'll sell you on DLS
