Blew a speaker, ought to replace that.
One of the cheap aftermarket speakers in the rear blew today. It'* got that awful hair-raising static at any decent volume. I was obviously rocking too hard.
Any recommendations for a pair of 6x9'* that sound good, can handle loudness, and won't break the bank?
I've got an aftermarket head unit, if that matters. No amplifier installed, but I do have an old one kicking around I could use if need be.

Kinda depends on which bank you go to. I took a plunge of sorts and followed the advice of some friends and went Boston Acoustics. On Amazon/Ebay they were reasonably priced. I tend to push them pretty hard at times (ok..about half volume) and they take it very well.

I love my hertz speakers, and for your setup would say the energy series would probably be perfect. They come with a 3 year warranty so you can jam as hard as you want!
I've done unspeakable things to my Millies and they just keep on cranking.

You cannot run them off of an aftermarket head unit. They need a dedicated amp and you need to give them at least 50W RMS each.
These don't play very well below 100hz. Their bass response is very limited. I tried it for a while and ended up having to buy a sub. If you don't have a sub, these are not your best choice as you will not be satisfied with their bass output.

For what it'* worth, the head unit is capable of "20 W RMS x 4 channels at 4Ω." The amp in my closet, if it even works (can't beat free), is a four-channel one capable of 50 W RMS and 100 W peak per channel.
