[QUOTE="Patrick Bateman, post: 6359893, member: 614989"] THIS There isn't anything inherently wrong with an elliptical speaker. To say that a round speaker will sound better because "the weight is evenly distribute" is complete nonsense. But you don't see a lot of good speakers in elliptical shapes, and 90% of the elliptical speakers are complete junk. I'm thinking about adding some elliptical subs to my Accord, even though I already have three eights in the trunk, simply because you can never have too much efficiency or too much power handling. There are some interesting offerings from Image Dynamics and Tangband in the 6x9 size. I haven't seen a single good speaker that's 5x7. One thing you *might* consider is a round speaker with a truncated frame. For instance, creativesound.ca and partsexpress.com offer round speakers in truncated frames, which are a better fit for the elliptical holes in some cars. HTH [/QUOTE]
