1: What is the Year, Make, and Model of the vehicle.

2008 Acura MDX

2: What is your budget?

$400

3: What exactly do you want your outcome to be? (Good sounding music, or loud bass?)

Good sounding music

4: And specific sub sizes that you prefer more than others?

None, no experience at all with car audio

5: How much trunk space do you want to use up?

Do i need to use trunk space? I just want to replace the stock bose speakers with something the same or better. The stock speakers were actually good.

6: What type of features are you looking for in a CD Player (aka Head Unit)? (Ex: USB, AUX, BlueTooth, etc)

I have all the gimmicks already, just looking for good manufacturers to replace my stock bose audio

7: What type of music do you listen to?

Reggaeton and Rap mostly

8: Is your stock stereo system amplified? (You may or may not know this)

Not sure.

9: Do you have Steering Wheel Controls? (Volume/Seek on the steering wheel)

Yes.

Anyone have any good recommendations to replace the speakers? The passenger door speaker is rattling pretty badly, and I need something solid to replace it with.

Here's your speaker sizes

3" Center ChannelDash

10" SubwooferRear Side Panel

1.5 " TweeterDash

6.5" Full-RangeFront Door Panel

6.5" Full-RangeRear Door Panel

3" Mid-RangeD-Pillar

https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_72201_NVX-VSP65KIT.html should cover your tweeters/doors (might need to grab 2 pairs of this item if you have tweeters in the rear doors also)

that 3 inch speaker is a really funky size. you might want to consider a custom cutout to like a 5.25 or something bigger

This amp is ok for your budget. if you still have the stock h/u i'd consider expanding your budget a bit to include a decent stereo

edit: also for 400 bucks you might have a hard time finding some good bass while upgrading your speakers.

Thanks for the quick reply. If need be I can spend more, as long as it's a good value. I've never had to replace car speakers and I'm not an audiophile, especially because I know how expensive these things can be.

Just trying to get a feel for what I'll be spending and an idea of what "good quality" is in regards to car audio.

Pry tools are a must.

I put the following in my car a few months back for $1000 (installed all myself)

Sounds pretty damn nice for the price. I haven't amped up my 6x8's yet but they still sound ok.
