Well, I had a shop owner try to sell me MMATS Pro 641 for $600.00 AFTER I told him that I was interested in the MUCH more expensive Morel Elates ($1,500.00) that he also sells. (How often does THAT happen?) His words were "they should charge twice as much for these things".

I have never heard them and likely never will becasue MMATS is most active in the Southeast and very rare out here on the left coast.

Here is a link to an online retailer that sells them under $500.00: http://tinyurl.com/ewjas

And here is a link to the manufacturer's web site:

I went to the dealer locator on there and was so screwed up in Firefox (their web site kinda sux) so I took the liberty of copying/pasting the dealer info for Virginia to clean it up...

Thanks Rochambeau for your help, not looking for 4 ways up front. I want to put the 3 ways in the stock locations.

I've never heard the Mmats components. I have used their amps for years with great results - but I have always gone with more mainstream speakers. I've heard good things about Mmats subs.

 

[lslugz 10+ year member]

These are my stock locations and what i have to work with, I really want to keep the speakers in the same location. Can anyone help me out?

Rainbow SLC 365s...pm 6speedcoupe, price is right in the middle of your range. Sound good too.

What about the imaging factor? The 6.5 is placed right next to my hip, i think the 4" and the tweeter are in good locations.

If you want to worry alot about imaging, then stock locations may not always be best. I think that rainbow set will be a great drop-in-plug-and-play set. It will probably sound pretty good, not a competition setup, but very good for daily driving.
