FYI:

My Best Offer was successful on the 6" at $68/pair

My Best Offer was successful on the tweets at $75/pair

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.

Mike

Hey Prop,

My dash mids arrive today and do you remember which wire going to them is the positive and which is the negative?

There is a green and a green w/black stripe going to the factory mid.

Also, did you use the seeming existing crossover bundle just prior to the factory wires soldered to the speaker?

OK disregard, I see what you did in this pic



PS: I used the exact same screwdriver bit mod to access the screws and it worked like a charm, except I used black electrical tape.

Thanks,

Mike

Yes they are used for component building so all of parts are offered individually. They are nice quality components.

Well, I think I will do the front doors first so I can get the maximum effect in MY space until I spring for another pair for the rear doors, maybe next month.

With the dash mids upgraded and the front doors upgraded, I should be able to stand it until next month when I spring for another pair of C2-600CW

I also replaced the sub amp which was going into protection mode for no apparent reason and giving very trashy sub performance. The factory DSP sub that I retrofitted onto the separate amp is now giving the best its pee wee woofers can offer and that's an OK sound for me.


OK all done with the dash mid install using Memphis Audio recommendation and it is awesome. Much clearer mid range, as if a pillow had been removed from the old ones.


For the $35 they cost me, a great sound mod.

Thanks to the OP for highlighting this.

Mike
