1996 Ford Explorer Sport
as the title says, i need some stock replacement speakers. when i bought it, there wasn't audio from the driver front, and i found out that there straight up wasn't a speaker in the door after getting around to pulling the door panel. not a big deal the other speakers worked fine, and this is just my 'beater'(that i try to take care of - even if it's a damn accident magnet...). i need to pull the door panel again to see if the wiring is still in there.
but now my passenger front speaker is WELL on its way out, and the rears aren't in the best state, so i really need some replacements ASAP(1hr drive to and from work - i need mah music!).

i don't know what the available systems were for 1996, but mine has a Kenwood 10 disc changer mounted on the rear passenger wheel hump, a small amp under the passenger seat, a Kenwood head unit, and it appears to be either factory or a cleanly installed aftermarket system(leaning towards the latter)...

...so, with this input, can anyone suggest some factory replacement, budget, ideally plug & play(though i don't know much about audio systems, and i'm not afraid to wiring some things up my self i necessary) speakers that i can pick up from walmart or best buy(i know, i know, but the local audio shops aren't open on sunday). i'm not to concerned about the rear speakers right now, so i'd really like to get some decent front door speakers for now, and i'd like to be in it for $100 or less for the two and anything i might need.

thanks in advance!
 






Order from Crutchfield. They give you the plug & play harness. Pretty much anything will do. I used Polk, Clarion, JBL, & Pioneer in previous installs.
You should be able to get something decent for way under $100/pair.
 






None of that is OEM. Besides maybe the speakers, nothing will be plug and play.

You first need to see how the previous owner wired things and where wires are ran. It could be a wiring nightmare behind the radio. It could be subpar amp install. It could be a fire hazard waiting to happen. Don't trust anything until you see it all 100%.
