^Good call Mike - I actually may remove the Founteks out of the dash midrange and just do those Vifa/Peerless as I agree it does make a big difference -
I will check the prices on the JL tweeters alone and see if its a better value alone to buy the component set - If a pair of Tweeters is $100 and the component set is $40 more I'll probably do the 6" ones as well, just because I don't want to take the door panel off more than necessary LOL

They seem fine for the most part, I was actually going to move them to the rear midrange, and use the Vifa/Peerless up front - you know, for variety LOL
However I'm a ways off from doing anything, have a couple little items to address before I start playing with fun things again: 1) Need a set of replacement blind spot aspherical mirrors - 1 of them delaminated after 6 years 2) MID repair, pixels are going out 3) Have to bake open left headlight and replace one angel eye ring, after 4 years all of them are going strong except for bottom half of the one ring and its driving me crazy (not looking forward to this one lol) 4) PDR needed on my roof and my drivers fender 5) Headliner repair, last year like an idiot I rented an aerator for my yard and didn't chock the wheels well enough, it gouged and ripped my headliner in 3 spots by the sunroof, no way in hell I'm paying $500-600 to get the thing rewrapped, I'm hoping to find someone who can glue/stitch and give me a 50% improvement just so that it doesnt look like crap, for a couple hundred bucks -

Also, BMW does a pretty good job on their mid range drivers. The people they get them from (nokia, alpine, etc) do a really good job designing for the compartment they are installed in. I now prefer to use BMW factory premium speakers over aftermarket drivers for the door locations whenever possible. I'll be using the BSW drivers that the previous owner installed though since they are there. As mentioned, the factory tweeters leave something to be desired though. I'll be starting my completely overkill setup in the next few months hopefully. Been taking care of all the house things that have been piling up and after they are done... I'm taking some time for the audio system. Still need to pick an android head unit to go with...

Wow. I gave up reading on Page 7 and started skipping to the end. Can someone give me the consensus on what is the optimal budget setup? Seems like you guys changed speakers a few times here. Ty in advance.

For me it was JL in the front doors, Memphis Audio on the dash mids and Dayton Audio in the rear doors (for budget) with C2s in the rear doors and a mono amp driving a factory sub that I retrofitted into my non-DSP vehicle.
I would suggest a 4GB octa-core Android head unit for adequate snappy performance of multiple RAM hogging apps. Mike
