Default OEM Bose Speakers

Does anyone know of where one could buy OEM Bose door speakers? preferably the front ones because they are fuzzier sounding than the rear ones.

They seem to be worse when the car is cold, or in humid conditions like if its snowing or raining, but it will tend to slowly go away as they warm up, I'm looking into checking the glue on the dust covers, but does anyone know what else this could be?

$50 is not worth it. Even cheap Alpines or Pioneers will be worlds better. Honestly, I would even take a REALLY low-end brand like Pyramid over the Bose stockers.

BOSE: Buy Other Sound Equipment.

Is this some part of a warranty? or is it just an life-service type thing? $50 per speaker? Will they send them to me or will they have a local audio shop replace them for you?

Doesnt this involve making custom brackets and all that jazz? I'd rather have it done right over having to live with botched door speakers that work.

I'm pretty sure it's around $50 for both front, and the same for both rear.

Someone can correct me if i'm wrong though

Ideally you would get a speaker ring (you can find MDF or plywood ones for rather cheap) and mount it on that but if you get the same size speakers as stock, I suppose they could be mounted the same way.
