Better outdoor speakers
I have the factory Jensen MS5006W outside speakers. They are shot, and I never did like them. What else is out there that will drop in and is a better quality unit?

A good quality marine speaker will work. Alternatively, I buy weatherproof speakers here, at US Speaker (they are not cheap, though)
This right here!
I`ll need to replace my cheap factory ones soon and will be doing some research on the best available. I may make some enclosures for behind them so they sound better.
There are a number of good aftermarket speakers or mobile audio speaker kits available. The best pricing is usually through an online reseller like sonic electronics or similar. Look for speakers that have the correct impedance for your system (4 ohm, 8 ohm) and are built with materials that are weather impervious: Carbon fiber or polypropylene cones and magnesium or aluminum frames. FWIW, I have a set of CTX speakers in the truck (carbon fiber on magnesium frame) and the truck will be rusting out around those speakers.
Ay US Speaker, linked to above, some of the Faital Pro speakers are weatherproof. The little 3" wide-range speaker for $19.95 is a sleeper.
