Default Replacing Bose with Infinity Speakers

How easy is it to replace the stock bose speakers with Infinity speakers. ALso, does anyone know how much it costs, and how much better the sound quality is with the Infinity ones?

I went with the top-of-the-line Kappa components in the doors which were $210. Once I had listen to and picked those I just bought the rest to match. The 10 dVQ woofers are great matches with the larger of the two plugs for the Zenclosure understrut box.

I did my own installations crafting custom front spacer rings to allow the 6.5" component mid-woofers to fit. I found that a 1" ring wasn't big enough and that the stock hole fires into plastic rather than the hole. I used a bit of wood and moved the mid-woofer out another quarter inch and forward and down by about 2".

I went with a Pioneer AVIC N-2 with the DVD navigation. See my signature for the details.
