sounds crisp enough. they're not mega bassy obviously due to their size and how they're mounted. but they give excellent sound in the front. I disconnected then and left the tweaters connected and you could defiently tell.

Are they 5" or 5.25", i'm interested to see if the 5.25" speakers fit.

Out of interest lads, rather than bothering with all the speaker depths/fittings etc, why not just build some speaker pods to hold your speakers nice n snug. Thats what I am gonna do come summer time !!!

or just buy some. you can get some pre built but, i forget who they are made but but they hold 5 1/4 inch and tweeters. home made ones are more satisfying tho!  ;D

I prefer to keep the stereo looking stockish but sounding the bollox and usually mount the tweeters just in front on the pillars with the speakers on the door in my very well built pods :)
