Blown footwell speaker

The drivers side footwell speaker is blown, so looking at getting a new one.

The car has HK, is it the best thing to just try and find a HK one, or replace both fronts with something equally as good, or better?

Any suggestions? Don't want to spend the earth on these, just replace with something as good.

BSW say these: http://www.bavariansoundwerks.com/produ ... 3-Midbass/

Rather not spend that kind of money.

These will fit and wont break the bank... i have fusion speakers in mine and you can acturly get the 6" ones in too... as the fusion 6" speakers have fitment holes for 6" and 5.25"

When looking for them, is there anything I need to be wary off?

I'll be honest and say I know nothing about sound/speakers.

Some are 2 way, some are 3. Some have (what I assume is) a tweeter built into them. etc.

You are referring to coaxial speakers. you don;t need then in the Coupe as the driver you have blown is only a mid/nass unit. That said, there would be no harm in having a coaxial speaker as they are quite common and cheap to buy compared to component speakers. you have no issues with depth there. anything but a really expensive speaker will fit OK. Even my MB Quarts (which are not cheap) have plenty of space behind them.
