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

Well and now to update with bad news - After asking Bavsound, they told me they no longer do speaker pairs and can't ship just those remaining ones, even though they no longer offer E53 packages -

Basically too bad so sad. However, I wonder if the outer metal ring on the Memphis Audio ones can be trimmed down and can be made to work in that location as a midrange speaker as intended.

FWIW, I used the flat side of an air cutting wheel to grind/trim the Memphis Audio outer edge to allow the factory dash grille tab to clear and seat properly.

This made quick work of what I needed to remove from the outer edges.

Did you get enough off the new speaker edge to avoid trimming the factory grill tab? That is good to know its possible if so.

Totally drove through Dallas today.

Yes, I did.

I did not trim the grille tabs at all on my Memphis Audio midrange install.

Indeed! That is the value of these dedicated forums.

Teams or groups of people will almost always come up with a better solution to a problem than a single person.

Mike did you snap any pics? I know its prob self explanatory but figured if it saves me a few mins to have a visual of where you trimmed that would be great -

Hi Ricky,

Sadly, no pics on my efforts with the Memphis Audio mid-ranges.

Prop had some good ones showing the area he worked on in the early part of this thread.

After the amp arrived clearly used and with a stripped out wire connector in my brand-new-but-on-clearance E53 sub kit , I am not sure that mandatory exclusion of BavSound is a bad thing. I sure as hell don't intend to use them on any car of mine.
