[QUOTE="maylar, post: 8055281, member: 541144"] I have an 85 Olds Delta-88 Royale, and I've been through lots of 3.5's. The best I found was Boston Acoustics FE3 (discontinued) or SE35. Don't bother amping them, just use a 150 or 300 hz bass blocker off HU power. 35 watts rated is about the max any of them go, and I've blown 3.5s just on HU power. If your dash is like mine and the speakers are high up near the windshield you'll have to modify the grilles to mount coaxials cuz the tweeters stick up too high. And the bigger magnets can be tough to squeeze in the holes. If you can fit something other than standard car type 3.5's in there you might look at Madisound web site for home speakers instead.
