      These components have me thinking, especially at that price. What would people suggest for running in the rear if anything? Right now I am running eclipse's all the way around, through a JL 500/1 amp from a couple of years ago, anyone have anything to say about the amp? I have been rather disappointed with the sound of the system but I think it has more to do with the lack of bass than anything else...

        Why the hell would you have a 1 channel amp running your mids and highs?

            A 500/5 is an awesome amp in the right hands.

                  I had a feeling they were almost out even tho the price was going up. I ordered some Saturday and they arrived today!

                  edit: The crossovers are seriously BIG, where are you guys fitting them?

                      They have a couple of sets listed on Ebay too. I am going to try to see if they have any left over from their auctions. But I won't hold my breath. Guess I could always try to fit 6.5's in the door...

                        I was going to mount mine on the back of Luke's sub box. Don't know if that's a no-no or not, but seemed like a good place to me.

                          I ordered these at 9am yesterday, and they're already at my door!

                            Well, I emailed them and they said they had 1 more pair in stock, wrote back and told them I would take them, so hopefully it works out...


                            Sold them right before I could add them to my cart.

                            Well, hopefully a deal like this pops up again soon.

                            Let me know what you all think of these once you have them installed.

                              Any pics of the front tweets installed?
                              I've found these really don't fit well in the sails. From the front they hit the dash when closing the door and from behind it hits the door frame. I'm considering using the /'d cups and surface mounting them on tweeter blanks.
                              Any suggestions?

                                So I mounted the tweets on the surface of some blanks with the angled cups. I also liked twistednut's use of the rear deck grills for the mids so I did that as well( thanks twistednut:up:)
                                First I snipped out the existing grill material from the kick panel then mounted the PPi's grill ring to the surface of the kick panel(out of the car of course) and used it as router guide to cut a precise hole for the mids.
                                Here's a few pics






                                It's a close fit with the glovebox but it definitely clears
                                Part # for the grill is: 65131370803
                                I used the long screws included with the ppi's to mount the grill.
