Default Decent after-market replacement "Speakers"

I blew my passenger door speaker, and am looking for a decent replacement, but not to expensive. Any that you guys prefer, or would recommend?

If you have any questions that I can answer to help with a reply, please ask!

Thanks.

you are gonna think im crazy but go with mb quart. they tend to be a lot more expensive but very often i have found good deals on them on ebay. a couple years back i bought one of their top of the line models and now their lowest model pretty much meets its specs. if you have to dish out an extra little bit of money its worth every penny. the coaxials are cheaper than the components. i dont know what head unit you have but if it puts out 30 to 60 watts they should be ok

polk audio momo's are tops imo. i tried mb quarts and the crossover rusted. also the speaker connections rusted to.i have tried kicker-infinity-pioneer and sony in the doors. my momo's have been in for at least 6 months and they rock. and they are not rusting as of yesterday.

what kind of budget are we talking here? you can get CDT cl-62s and 61a for 150 on the net, i run them and like them also I put in a huge vote for Focals, I used to run infinity but the harsh Highs were killing me.

also belive it or not but I had a really good experiance with a set of PG Hi-Octane ZR comps ( not the R as they have no crossover just a filter for the tweeters ) and my freind got them for 80 bucks off ebay. now on the deck power they kinda sucked but once we got them on a small amp ( 75x2 ) i was shocked.

I really don't know jack about speakers or anything of the subject except sound comes out. seriously

My budget would be, slightly better than stock.

Anyone got any work done by the guys at Best Buy? Thinkin about runnin down there one day and seein what they can do for me.

Thanks guys.
