You people suck. 12 years later, I finally replace speakers.

Prop's deal was awesome

Mike double check if you got a pair for $68. The 600CW drivers are normally sold as individual and one step up from the ones that Prop installed in his X5. Just double check for your understanding and expectations.

Thanks for the heads up X53Jay!

Sadly for me you are correct (

I guess I will have to wait until next month to get another pair. As an experienced eBay user, I'm usually very careful to confirm the offering, but I guess this time I slipped up

Thanks for setting my expectations straight before I opened the package.

^^Glad to hear that the Dash midranges worked out well - The temps aren't great right now but its extremely tempting to get those swapped out ASAP

Yeah, I hear you!

I did mine in the comfort of my 45*F garage in Texas

Drove 1150 miles in the last two days and the new mids were a genuine pleasure to finally hear crisp and clear sound.

You guys suck - I ordered the Memphis Audio midranges for the dash first as they are easiest to swap out - I'll add the rest of the JL Audio components and another set of Memphis for the rear doors in the spring - Prop when you get a sec can you get me a pic of the factory rear door midrange speaker that you removed and swapped with the JL tweeter?

Have you ever been so happy to get something off the car that you threw it into the *neighbor's* trash? Yeah? Well... That's what I did with those little bastards. It's like three little plastic tabs that have to be pressed at basically the same time to get the mids out. By the time we'd wrestled them out, I didn't think to take a pic. Sorry, mang.

Oh, and you crack me up. Don't touch your sub! I ordered the speakers I'm going to futzle with. They should be home when I return. If it works/improves, this could be huge for the folks who want a little more oomph for a lot less $$.

ALL GOOD BROTHER - I won't be tackling those for a while anyway - I'll do the fronts first as I know those are tweeters LOL

Sounds good I won't touch the sub and I most likely won't be replacing it either LMAO

^^Looking forward to getting them installed on mine now as well! I have propane heat in the garage so shouldn't be too bad -

OK boys I did some digging - Good news!!!

The mystery rear door midranges are 65mm so just about 2.5" - They are the SAME part number whether you have DSP or regular "Hifi" - and they are the SAME speaker used in the rear panel of the E46 coupe - and guess what, those speaker sets are still available from BSW -

I already have an email out to see if they sell those 65mm midranges separately, if so, even at another $100, might be worth it to have the proper fitting and proper sounding speaker in that rear door panel.

So far my investment is $35 for the Memphis Dash Midranges, and anticipating $140 for the C2-600 component set (2 midbasses and 2 tweeters) and either buy a second set or 2 more midbasses separate.

My goal is to keep it under $300 to upgrade all speakers -
