Cheap dash speakers

The Luxor 4" speakers that were OE in most C900s get buzzy after a few years. In the past, I have bought better speakers and done the upgrade, but one of my goals with my current daily driver, a 1985 900 4dr (base model, 8v) is to invest as little as possible out of pocket. I bought it in Jan 2004 for $200. At the time it had 234K mi; today it has 286K mi. and my out-of-pocket expense for parts has been less than $200 (not including fluids and filters). In that time I have replaced calipers, axles, a radiator and other normally expensive parts with the help of a couple of parts cars.
So when it came to replacing the annoying dash speakers in this beast, I wasn't about to spend $80/pr.
During a trip to WalMart I happened upon Durabrand speakers that looked like the Saab OE 4", with the proper square mounting plate. The price was less than $7.50 apiece, <$15/pr! They are much better than the OE speakers ever were! I am quite impressed!
