Sablotny is on a distinguished road
All I can say is, I tried again and am pleased

The night the speakers arrived, I figured I'd start with the easiest bit first- the dash mids. I was working in my cramped garage (dark outside), and as I said above, I wussed out. Per my separate post, I dedicated this Saturday to doing the install right, and am very pleased with the results. I didn't do a direct comparison between the stock & BSW mids, but I did try a left/right comparison half way thru the install with the complete stock vs. BSW kit.

Again, the stock mids don't look like bad drivers. This is based purely on my 20 year history of "kick the tires" stereo component judgement, wherein heavy amplifiers get the nod over light ones, and speaker drivers with cast frames get more attention than stamped sheet metal. On the other hand, the stock midbass units looked like they came out of somebody's clock radio (as another poster said), with flimsy plastic cones, and I had no problem beating them out of the speaker pods with a hammer, as detailed in BSW's instructions.
