Alternative Speaker Suggestions?

[Kathy]

I'm looking for a pair of great sounding bookshelf speakers no bigger
than 20x12x12 to sit on the rear deck of my Honda Insight hatchback.
My budget will allow me to spend up to $200 on a used pair. The idea
is to be able to remove the speakers from time to time when I need
more cargo room. Also, it's nice to be able to set the speakers on top
the car on a nice summer day. I'd like decent bass response if
possible. Please shoot me some model numbers to look for. TIA, Doug
Jackson

Have you ever heard those? They sound like complete ass. I'd take the
stock speaker system over those any day. No exaggeration.

but, he's only wanting to spend under $200.

If he wants bookshelf speakers (asking to be stolen, by the way), he can
just run down to his local Circuit City and grab the cheapest set they have.
They'd still sound better than those full range truck boxes.

go to audiogon.com and have a look for bookshelf speakers. Go for a pair of
Paradigm Atom's any version or even post the same question there on their
forums.

And BTW, Doug...whatever you do make sure you securely attach them so they
don't fly into the back of your head if you slam on the brakes or get into
an accident.

What's more likely? That an all-powerful mysterious god created the
universe and then decided not to give any proof of his existence? Or, that
he simply doesn't exist at all? And that we created him so that we wouldn't
have to feel so small and alone. -Eleanor Arroway, Contact

In the car stereo world there are not too many speakers which come in a box
enclosure. You could find a pair of small speaker systems from home stereo
(8 ohms) and power them as a pair at four ohms from any decent car stereo
amplifier. P.

You could buy a very decent pair of 6*9's (Eclipse, MB Quart, and JL
Audio) Being my favorite and place them in a 6*9 box and this would be
an excellent alternative to what your trying to achieve!!!
