RB Thanks for clarifying the rear mid range drivers. I'll be getting a set of the Peerless drivers for the rear to complete my upgrade.

I can't WAIT to hear how you like them. Since you are *way* more inclined, educated, experienced, and all o that goodness in this world than me, if you like it- and will take the trouble to explain why so I can decide if our whys align- if you like it, I am nearly almost certainly in.

GIVE! When you do it!

How ab now?

Now?

Glad to add a little contribution to our team member experiment

I'm going to get a better ruler measurement tonight for you (those Peerless drivers are out of stock anyway for the next few days) - I want to double check and triple check the factory driver diameter in mm, as well as the opening on the factory speaker grille/housing -

These actually might be a bit easier fit if the round Peerless drivers are just a couple mm too large (and if you don't want to dremel a bit off the outer ring of the driver) - the only differences I notice are the "squared" ones I linked below are 7w RMS while the 2" round drivers are 20w RMS, same sensitivity and same max power rating? I don't believe the .25" extra depth on the round Peerless drivers should make a difference, but these "squared" drivers are a couple mm shallower so closer to factory dimensions

A Harbor Freight digital caliper at about $15 should do that job nicely
