[QUOTE="mynameisjeramy, post: 8339006, member: 664127"] I'm looking to replace the front and rear stock speakers in my 98 BMW 318ti. I have a Kenwood HU that I am going to install but otherwise, I am still looking at my speaker/sub options. In the door of the car, there is a 1inch tweeter and a 2.5inch mid that I don't plan on replacing. The front only has room for 5.25s, but in the rear I can fit up to 6.5s. I am looking for a full range of clarity and quality without spending more than I need to. Also I am trying to get away without an amp. I am currently leaning towards this setup: Polk Audio db521 for the front and db651 for the back with no sub. Will 5.25s and 6.5s provide enough low end sound? If not, I was thinking about going to a powered sub for my main source of bass. If I go with a sub, I might do db461P in the back for more mid and high. If I do this, I'm worried the highs coming from the back might not sound good, so should I stick to the 6.5s. I know there are a lot of variables going on, but I guess my main questions is, what is the best setup I can create with my current options? Again I'm not really looking for max volume or bass, just a clear and balanced setup. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
