    Great find! I was looking at my stock rear speakers the other day thinking I need new ones.

            The magnet looks a lot smaller than the normal E34 speaker upgrade
            Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

              Probably is, these are so easy to find and install and they have tweeters, and are so cheap

                I found a set of JVC speakers for the rear that fit nice and sound decent from Crutchfield.

                    They're about twice the cost, but I've been looking at the Infinity KAPPA52.11i. They're currently $87 on Amazon. I know there is so little depth in rear. That said, Crutchfield says the depth will work. I've read there is 2 5/16" depth and at 2 3/16 it should fit. I just wonder if it's worth the extra money and how it compares to the one above since Rockford's are now known to fit.
                    Current - 1991 E30 325i Auto Vert, 2013 F30 335i M-sport, 2014 F25 X3 M-sport
                    Past - 1986 E30 325es, 1988 E30 M3, 1991 E34 535i 5sp, 1991 E31 850i 6sp, 1992 E36 325i, 1995 E36 M3, 2000 E46 323i, 2009 E60 535i, 2011 E90 335d

                          i just installed these speakers all around with a vintage zapco ag360 amp and a clarion mcd360 active crossover and it sounds great. could use a bit more bass so ill need to install a sub at some point but overall the difference is amazing.

                            Put the same ones in my 89 rear panels. Easy fit and much better than most other speakers in the sub-$100 range.
