The Diamonds are pretty bright with their aluminum dome tweets. I have the 6x8 set. They are too bright for my taste. I used to like the bright MB Quarts tweeters when I was much younger. As I got older, I prefer more mellow soft/silk dome. The cross-over is very beefy, and you can decrease...

Wrong forum.

I run mine off a US Acoustics 4065, and it does well enough for me. I know many might chime in and say "you need at least 150w per side".

SQ through a factory 98 GM radio doesn't already sound that way?

It's probably meant for Home Theater use. They are typically 1 chn. (going from receiver to sub amp.)

12000k?! That brings a new meaning to ear piercing...

This seems almost too good to be true. One can't buy the materials (MDF, screws, glue, terminals, etc.) for that price. Good deal for those w/o tools of their own.

Neither. Spend the money on a good set of comps (you can even go 3-way) up front, and use coax in rear. More does not equal better.

1. I have not run the comps, but I had the Coax version for rear fill. They sounded OK, but really needed power. I ran them off deck power only, and the midbass was weak. The tweet seemed nice and calm -- not too harsh. Once again, I was only running them off deck power, so I'm not a good...

Stay clear from Kappas unless you crave extremely harsh tweets. I used to like bright highs, but Kappas give a new meaning to harshness. JBL or Focal would be much better. Why are you set on 2 ohm?

It's not too difficult. Are they hooked up to an amp, or HU for power? If amp, you can easily swap the L & R at the amp -- to make sure it's the speaker.

Yes. Because it is rattling. Replace them before your trip, or you may only be listening to 1 side. No.

If you own a Ford, this is about as OEM-like as it gets: Eclipse CD1200G - Car Stereo Head Unit In-Dash Receiver - Sonic Electronix I was tempted to try it at the price, but no had reviewed it at the time.

For rear fill, I wouldn't bother. What you currently have is fine. You want your best sound coming from front. I would keep it the same -- since you have Alpine/Alpine. To answer your other question, you can easily make a 6.5 fit a 6x9 hole. You can make your own mounting plate out of thin...

Don't mount the crossovers in your door. That will prevent them from being damaged. Use the baffles (linked above) for your mids. That will protect them.
