I have been wanting to put some new dash speakers in my caballero, and i was wondering what you guys had.....what speakers have a clean fit, or what ever........i wanted to get some infinitys but i don't know how they will fit....Thanks for your help.

I have some from Lightning Audio. They are either 3" or 3.5" and they fit great and sound good. Not high power handling, but I run a Sony head unit with a 6 CD changer and two 6" box speakers in the rear.

Infinities are a great speaker but i've heard that it is a PITA to get them in the dash since the heighth of them the don't fit well trying to get them in the holes the windshield gets in the way, but it can be done. I've also heard of people coming up through the bottom to mount them too.

You'll need 3.5 inchers.
I would back those up with some 6x9's that are 3 way.

I put 2 3-way 6x9's and a 10" sub bolted in back.

Infinity Kappa 3.5" are a PITA to install in the dash. I had the kappa but the cone got cracked from the sun. I've got 3.5" Lanzar in their now.

A lot of guys (except me) have gone to walmart and just got the cheapest (~$7) 3.5 inch speakers and are quite happy with them.

Like i have said a few times before, I like my 3.5 inch fosgates, and they weren't to much at all.
