While ABT seems a nice chain, for what you want, I suspect a small specialist would be better.

You might use the Alpine dealer locater at alpine1.com and set it to Status F#1 only (their premier product which requires certifications). It's not a bad place to start.

ABT is only one store, and they have done plenty of custom stereos for many of local celebrities, sports figures, etc.....

It was just a suggestion of somewhere to start.

X5 Speakers
 
Thank you for the information. One piece of info Ihave not found however - is just what the heck is the size for the X5 midranges (mounted on dash).
This seems to be best kept secret since J Hoffa.
Thanks!

It is an unusual size, hard to replace in the aftermarket. It's like a 2-2.5 or something like that.

The BSW mid might fit.

I have a supplier with a 70mm mid that will fit.

Whether or not you are replacing that with another mid is another question. If you're upgrading the amp, you may or may not retain the 3-way architecture.

If you're retaining the amp, I have a 6.5 midwoofer/65mm cone mid/20mm silk dome tweeter kit that should work great...

OEM mid is approximately 65mm, but it's on a unique little mounting plate shaped like a football. Our midranges are a direct, bolt-in fit:
