Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
^^I agree with you Mike - I recommend the Fountek's for replacement of other 8ohm drivers like in our E53 midranges - had I known the HK system was 3ohm I would not recommend - Basically you need to give double the input to have the same output as the factory driver, its not doing your upgrade any favors -

I would have recommended the 65mm Vifa/Peerless midwoofers that Jay purchased and also recommended on the E46 boards -

Maybe Mike (Clockwork) would take the Fountek's off your hands

Thanks for the reinforcement RB. I'm thinking I will liberate the Founteks in the next couple of weeks. Gotta get these Amazon 4ohms in and see how that sounds.

The Vifa/Peerless get good reviews from the E46 folks

Peerless by Tymphany NE65W-04 2" Full Range Woofer

I'll let everyone know when I liberate the Founteks.

Mike

Yes Clockwork, I'll message you when I have liberated the Founteks and we can work something out. I may even pull the trigger on the Peerless mids this weekend and looking forward to getting this E46 sound upgrade over and done with.

Update: I ordered the Peerless/Vifa mids last night so expect that next week I will have the Founteks liberated for Clockwork. I will be in touch when they are confirmed out and ready to ship.

Mike
