I picked up a set of 5.25" Phoenix Gold RSD Component speakers for like $80 shipped off ebay. The mid fit perfectly into the stock location, and the tweeter hole only had to be opened up like 1/8", leaving plenty of room for the stock to go back in if needed.VERY easy swap over, and would have been insanely easy if I used the stock wiring. I went with these speakers because they were getting great bang for the buck reviews on caraudio.com. You may be able to find a set of just the tweeters, i dunno. I may wind up connecting the 3" speaker in the door to the head unit power, as the components are off an amp in the back now. Gotta decide if it'll sound good, or like ass. __________________ 1995 318TI base. 95 2.5L from 325IS. S50 cams+pistons, e36 M3 front brakes. H&R race springs F+R.

The rear tweeters I cut out of the plastic that holds them in then slid the Quart tweeters in from the front and then slid them back into place. The speakers have stayed in place for about 7 months now with no problems other than the driver side grille keeps falling out. | | | 01-06-2009, 07:17 PM | #7 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Bulgaria, Sofia Posts: 14 | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
