blown front door speaker

hi all,

I'm pretty sure my passenger side front door speaker is blown. checking the prices on an OEM replacement on ebay, they're fairly expensive. should I replace with the OEM or just upgrade to something better? does anyone make a bracket for a direct replacement?

I have a 2016 cadenza with the 12 speakers.


thanks!

Cutchfield is a great resource for size and part numbers. I have a 2016 cadenza, replaced my lower doors with 6 1/2" Kickers. My driver side upper (small, high speaker) look on eBay for interior mirror cover trim with speaker, instead of the $300 something Kia wanted, I was able to get one used that worked great for $15.

That's been about 2 years ago since I did the lower ones, if I remember correctly I think I bolted them straight to the door without any kind of bracket. Looking at the pictures on crutchfield, my old speakers were blown, I might have cut them out of the black plastic rings and mounted them to those. You don't I'm pretty sure six and a half inch fits perfect. The only reason for the black plastic ring is for added depth, if the speakers you're using require more depth.
