I thought that too & almost left them alone.
I did break down & replace them however & the difference is WELL WELL worth the effort.
I agree, the stock SUB isn't half bad when hooked to a good head unit but those door speakers/tweeters can be improved substantially.

I bought two pairs of these:

I didn't buy them from Crutchfield however, I found a much cheaper price from another online source(I don't remember where right this second)
I installed them with Dynamat Extreme sound deadening in all 4 doors & the difference was dramatic(my Wife noticed it immediately & I didn't tell her what I had done)

I do like infinity stuff...
I think my next big purchase is going to be headrest monitors. The Kenwood can be set up as dual zone, so I can set the kids up to watch the ipod or the dvd, and we can watch the Nav up front...

The Eclipse can do that also, but instead of doing that I mounted a 9.5" widescreen DVD setup on the rear ceiling with wireless headphones for my two kids.

I have found many of your previous post valuable and hopefully we can get a few threads on "do it yourself guides" for this vehicle.

Re: New Nav System Pics Soon!
I guess that depends how handy you are(I was a professional mechanic for 12 years). The Panasonic unit I installed came with excellent instructions.
I have installed two of these setups, one in my original 05 FEH & now in my current 06 FEH. The 06 was a bit tougher as this one has side curtain airbags & a moonroof I had to work around(the 05 had neither). In the 06 I removed & reinforced the headliner to make a secure attachment for the unit. In the 05, all I did was cut a hole in the headliner & screw it to a roof crossbar.
This is the unit I installed & it works GREAT(my kids love it)

I found a refurb for $299 & it looks brand new.

How do you like the kenwod unit after playing around with it, many of the reviews I have read say that the nav is awesome, the audio and video playback is crisp, however the menus and user interface on the non-nav (media) end are a bear to work through.
What do you think
