Looking for the best 5.25" speaker

I know this isn't a F-bosy, but I do need recommendations

I want to upgrade the door speakers on my Honda, and I've been looking on Ebay for some, but there are alot of good looking speaker for near the same price. They're all good names, so I'm not really sure which one to go for. Here are the ones I'm looking at:

What do you guys think? And are those good prices? Thanks!

So you're finally looking to upgrade? You didnt seem interested the last time i was over there. How are the 6.5 Denons I gave you?

Between the ones you picked, I'd say the Boston FX's would be your best bet, followed by the Polk dB's. Definately not the GXR's, they sound like crap.

I've seen many Infinity Reference speakers being resold on eBay AS-IS and blown. I think that says something for their quality and I'd stay away from them. The Kappas on the other hand would be nice.

When you're ready to change out the head unit I could be of some assistance as well

If they made the Pioneer REV's in 5.25 I'd have to recommend those above all else. I have the 6.5" version and they're the best I've ever heard.

I went ahead and got the Boston Acoustics FX5's. They should be here early next week, I can't wait! I'm glad I ended up getting the ones you guys recommended Plus, I lived in Boston for almost a year, gotta go with a good local company(well, used to be local). Seems like alot of good things come outta Boston, like Sam Adams

The FX5's should be great. I have heard them before and they sound really good. If you'd like to demo them before you get them, head down to the Sound Advice on 436, right across from where Peaches used to be(if you know where that is), and just before you get to Circuit City. That's where I go to demo all the high end stuff.
