Need 2.5" mid-range driver for dash location

I am running a kenwood 9140 DVD/ NAV unit. I am using the dash speakers as a center channel and would like to replace and upgrade this hard to find size driver.

I have tried BSW and they won't sell me just the 2.5" drivers.

Any ideas of who makes a replacement in this size.

Well that sucks - you used to be able to buy just the mids from them. Those are the only speakers I haven't replaced up front, but damned if I am going to buy the entire Stage I kit just to get those mids.

Look around at Parts-Express.com - Speakers, Speaker Building, Home Audio and Video, Pro Audio, Electronic Parts & Accessories PARTS EXPRESS, Speakers, Speaker Parts, Guitar speakers, Bass speakers, Woofers, Drivers, speaker upgrades and replacement speakers. Emine - seems like I saw a 2.5 mid driver advertised on one of their flyers the other day.

Cool thanks. Just a quick look and they have a lot of options. Just have to pull one out to check overall dimensions to find the right replacement.

Hi, let me know what you end up going with. I've been looking for the exact same speakers to replace in mine.

I replaced the mids on mine with BSW. If you need the OEM ones, PM me!

As I recall this is what I used.

Parts-Express.com:Tang Band W2-1767S 2" Neodymium Woofer | Tang Band W2-1767S 2" Neodymium Woofer Full Range Driver full range tb speakers neodymium driver line array point source midrange home theater computer speaker center channel set tube amplif

Needed to be cut to fit and sounds great. The original speakers were dry rotten. The stealer price for bmw speakers were $90 each, so this was a no brainer.
