    Which speakers should I buy?

    Need your input! What speakers? And... uh... will these fit?

    1. Infinity Kappa 50.9cs components front and rear (only a few $$ more than the Infinity references). Where the hell do you mount rear tweeters? The shelf?

    or

    2. Alpine SPR-13S Components front (i've heard good things about these), Alpine SPR-13C Coaxial rear (wouldn't have to worry about rear tweeter placement)

    or

    show me something better within a reasonable price.

    This will be joining a Infinity 1062w sub, luke box, and headunit will most likely be a Kenwood KIV-BT900 or KDC-X994. Amp is yet to be determined....that'll be my next question.

    In your doors, just above the map pockets. Run a 4 channel just for them. Everyone will think you have $1000 front speakers. They absolutely destroy any other car speaker anywhere near the price, you have to step to top of the line Dynaudio or Morel to do any better.

    How do I know?

          Nope they discontinued the 5" size alltogether, as they sell 400 pair of the 6.5" to each pair of 5"

              Here's the full setup I decided on, I hope this shit sounds good...

              -Infinity Kappa 50.9CS Front and Rear components. (Picking up tweeter pods for front and the rear premium sound enclosures for the rears.)

              -Infinity 1062W 10" Sub in a luke box

              -Jensen Power 5550 Amp

              -Kenwood KIV-BT900 headunit

                  Do you have the box yet, or have I shipped yours yet?

                  Build is progressing quickly...but 10 E34 and 12 E30 boxes is a LOT of work.

                  I have to have them finished by Wednesday, or at least done with the dust-making.

                      So if exile doesn't make a 5 inch component set to fit in stock mounting location who makes a good component set that will fit in the stock location?

                            Dooo eeeet

                            I actually just ordered a set for no good reason. They're probably thin enough to fit in the stock kickpanel, but I have a feeling they will blow out after 10 minutes. It will at least provide some temporary entertainment at a cheaper price than mexican firecrackers.
