No one wants to put Hybrid Audio Technology (HAT) Imagine or Clarus speakers in? They seem to get better reviews than the Hertz do (at least with my limited google search skills...).

I have the HAT Clarus in my wife's E46M3. Tweeters are a bit too shrill than I care for, but that could be due to my amp (Blaupunkt Velocity 2100 for the fronts) or my install... With the Alpine DSP I'll be able to notch that down a bit as I plan to separately amp all of the speakers (tweets, mids, and the one sub all on separate channels).

So is the concensus to not go with 6.5 inch speakers in the front doors and just stick with 5.25 inchers?

BTW Ripster: the BMW wiring is pretty good and most people just use it instead of running new wires. Even Musicarnw.com (el_duderino) uses the stock BMW speaker wiring and their systems are pretty hi-end.
