If you get new speakers with out some sorta of amp or HU, you will under power the speakers and eventually they will blow.

the premise is that a badly distorted signal is worse for a speaker
than a higher-powered clean one. that said, even the most distorted
signal can't blow out a speaker without sufficient power, and I doubt
the stock headunit can produce enough power, even distorted, to kill
a speaker (though if you don't mind listening to painfully distorted
music, you're welcome to try).

Definitely switch out your headunit before upgrading your speakers. It makes a huge difference.
Aside from getting the S-Pods, though, the only thing really worth doing with the rears is to replace them with quality tweeters (just one on each side of the car). I remember someone on the board doing this not too long ago with good results and it's what I'm planning to do when I upgrade.

I upgraded my HU, speakers, and added an amp. I wired the headrest speakers to the HU and they do sound better, but for the most part I have the fading mostly to the front and the system sounds great.

Personally, I think if you amp a good HU and speakers, headrest speakers are unecessary. They may make a difference with the stock set up, but with decent power and a clean signal, I think headrest speakers are a bit much for such a small cabin.

Although I agree with the concept of CRAP IN, CRAP OUT, I also know that the front speakers do not sound as bad as the rears. Having said that, it seems reasonable that a rear speaker exchange may work well enough for some of us. Personally, I am not looking for the best sound system around. I merely want something that sounds proper without changing the head unit and having to add additional wiring so my remote controls still function.
So, is there a speaker replacement for the rear roll bar speakers?
