hey RB, I didnt realize the dropbox pic was showing the guy reusing the plastic factory speaker housing for his mid as well. I thought it was jsut for the miss bass. makes sense why he rounded all 4 corners off the mid range now.

If Prop thought he had OCD, wait till he sees how OCD these dash and rear midranges will look - the Fountek drivers are the perfect size! and I should be able to retain the OE clips on the housing for the capacitor and wiring -
I have to do a bit of dremel work tonight or tomorrow but will get some updated pics up soon, these will look fantastic when finished - the factory speaker came out perfectly easy with a tiny screwdriver and a utility knife to cut the glue holding the magnet, the plastic factory mount is 100% intact as of now -

AWESOME news. I'm waiting patiently (not waiting patiently).
NOW, how do they SOUND is the question? Have you had a chance to hear them yet?

Haven't hooked up yet but the materials and construction being better quality I have no doubts they will sound better than the factory drivers. The Memphis PRX275 have a paper cone and sound better than factory, these Fountek's will definitely exceed the OE drivers in my opinion - aluminum cone and nice rubber surround and neodymium magnet.

I've got a pair of Founteks coming for my E46 upgrade in the front doors.
Thanks for the research RB and thanks to Prop for the guidance on the E46 upgrade recipe  Mike

A little more progress. This has been a lot of fun so far! I'm definitely getting another set of these for the rear midranges as well

 I installed the Eonon in my wife's E46 today. I have spent only about 15 minutes behind the wheel, but I can say that the JL mid subs I bought for the rear deck are very, very happy with the new head unit.  Aaaaand to tie this back into the E53... It's a great start to a similar exercise with an Android 6.0 unit I intend to install in the E53. The timeline for that is in some flex, but I am satisfied enough for now to move ahead- at least mentally- with the upgrade path. More ab the Eonon in the Eonon thread.
