Well, the original 20 year old speakers in my car took a crap on my stereo, they all rattle to the point were no audio can be heard, and my front passenger speaker cuts out. What can be causing that? Also what are good, but cheap speakers to put in my car? Preferably under 100 dollars if possible...

My front two stockers just blew this past week, and I got some Kickers. Very good speakers for the money ($70). I have Xplod's in the back, which are way better, though way more expensive...

Is there a port for a sub in the back of the stock lx radio?

I have an original bazooka tube from the early nineties, with some reinforcements to the tube and a proper crossover it has a great sound in the hatch. the new tubes are pretty much junk

Frankly, if you've just destroyed your stock speakers, then I would go out and find ANY 4 name brand speakers within your budget. The difference from what you had will be so vast that nitpicking about all the possible speakers on an otherwise stock system seems a little futile to me.
