Replacement for ADS 325im 5.25" co-axials

[M104-AMG]

My 1994 ADS 325im 5.25" co-axial speakers with external cross-overs have finally bit the dust (tweeters have broken off).

Looking for a quality co-axial replacement or even some New Old Stock or slightly used ones.

TIA,
neil

I didn't see a 5.25-inch co-axial on CDT's website.

Or use a 6.5" - 1/2" to 3/4" spacer to allow a 6.5" to be mounted in the 5.25" space. If it is a front mount, these will work for 6.5" drivers.

That adapter is too cool.

I'd like to use an external DSP cross-over rather than the speakers' internal passive cross-overs.

Can the CDT's be bypassed easily ? If not, any other co-axials I can use with an external cross-over ?

Absolutely. I had a pair that I wanted to update the cap to a 1% MPP cap and there is access to the leads and separate terminals on the rear to de-solder the leads to/from the tweeter/included cap, easy peasy.

CDT makes some dammned good speakers. They really sound amazing on some power and door preparations. Ive enjoyed all of my CDT speakers, and still do
