[QUOTE="llebcire, post: 8559578, member: 671377"] Spent months researching budget 6.5" components going on what I read from others who own them or have heard them. Not easy but there doesn't seem to be many car audio shops around any more. Initially wanted to find a pair of Oz Audio 180s from the 90s (Superman) but there didn't seem to be any around. Was leaning towards a $130 set of Polk Audio or possibly Silver Flute woofers with Seas tweets when I got back into the Oz kick with their new Vector series components. After talking with one of their engineers (Atrend) pulled the trigger but they were out as they're revamping the line. Back to square one and I purchased a set of Morel Maximos from Crutchfield for $150 shipped and they included mounting rings and wire harness adapters. I will use both and I'm going to use the factory wiring and replace the factory crossovers with the Morels. Using ideas from KHA (Rich) I'll be deadening the doors and adding a layer of compressed fiberglass sealed with plastic. With the trim rings I'll be using non-hardening model clay to seal and isolate the speakers so the trim rings will just be holding the speakers in place. Tweeters posed a challenge as they don't fit in the factory location easily but I have a plan. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
