The harmon hardon system isn't just speakers...it's a new amp, and different settings on the headunit etc.

Yeah, what Mark said... "Hard-on" is great.

He's right, the speakers alone would basically be a waste of money.

If you want to upgrade the speakers on a standard WAVE or BOOST head unit you are better off going aftermarket.

yeh i understand but i already have a new head unit and amp fitted ( after market ) and was going to replace the orig speakers too ( poss rainbow speakers) but as these were going cheap thoght these might do instead ( if they were the right size that is )

HK speakers are 2 ohm - your amp might or might not be able to drive them.

HK front speakers have no crossover (it's built in to the HK amp) so you'd have to make your own.

HK rear speakers are dual voice coil (2 ohms x 2 coils each) so in parallel that's 1 ohm for your amp to drive (no way) and in series 4 ohms (OK if the amp is powerful enough).

My website has some pics of HK speakers and you can see the part numbers:
