I'm going to try to find another two sets of JLs woofers with tweeters and then see what everyone says about the mid ranges. Maybe even go back to Memphis Audios with trimming. PS: Prop, do you have a link for those adapter mounting brackets? Mike

Looking at that BSW link for the E46 as well as what they used to provide for the E53, and just browsing on Crutchfield for what is recommended, why are 5.25" speakers recommended? Is it because a lot of the 5.25" speakers have those 4 mounting "wings" that maybe are large enough to be able to screw the new drivers down in a housing requiring 160mm speakers?
If you look closely on the BSW E53 install video, he had installed a 5.25" speaker in the factory woofer pod which was screwed into some sort of an adapter I think, that he glued in place in the factory pod. I guess its easier for Crutchfield to recommend smaller speakers that you glue in place than bigger say 165mm speakers that need trimming?

Just bought two of these on a Best Offer. Got them for a little over $100 each for my E46 upgrade project.
Thought I would let you guys know. JL AUDIO TR650-CSI 6.5'' EVOLUTION 200W 2-WAY TR COMPONENT SPEAKERS TR650CSI 99440910369 | eBay He appears to have 4 sets left. I have no financial interest in this auction and do not know the seller. Caveat Emptor. Mike

I bought the VR650's for the E46 bc they came with crossovers I will need for the E53 when the time is rt. I have thoughts ab why I did this backwards between the two vehicles, but no time to share them rt now.

EXCELLENT question! Here's what I have found between the two. The differences are bold and a bit larger text:
TR650CSI
VR650CSI
I (once again) have some heavy E46 content here, but speaker specs are speaker specs. The important items here that have us on the edge of discovery apply to an E53 just as well, so dear E53 barnstormers, do read on.** Power range** TR: 10-50 vs VR: 15-60 Now, I do not *know* this, but if someone here who does know it can tell me that we're on the rt path, I will find some relief. But here's what me and my friend think after installing the VR's in the E46 and being.. not just underwhelmed... Not just unimpressed... Just DISAPPOINTED! Why? They sound like A$$! I mean- echo-rich, fudzy sudzy hollow sounding YUCK balls!**Crossover** TR: In-line vs VR: external I needed external crossovers for the E53. I will use the ones from the VR in my E53 when I remove the DSP amp with the new head unit. I sure hope that a crossover sold in packs with one set of speakers will work with another set. Comments welcome here as well.**Tweeter size** TR: .5" vs VR: .75" I'll admit that I did not notice this before, but the larger tweeter will have plenty of room in either E46 or E53 application.**Sensitivity** This is so close I have chosen not to worry ab it unless someone suggests I should.
