[QUOTE="286, post: 2507719, member: 571486"] I guess i'll chime in here, i too have an sti and currently have the polk momo mmc6500's up front. They are about 2.8" deep and the shop that did it said they could fit a little more (with a spacer obviosuly, im using a spacer currently as well) I too am looking for the same thing as you. The stock tweeter location in the sti makes tweeter's sound a little harsher because of where its at (next to the door handle about 4" from the bottom of where the window meets the door). the momos are a slik/fabric tweet and they get harsh with sibilance once ive reached about 4 volume notches below the max w/o distortion. I've spoken to don, and im strongly considering the rainbow germaniums. These are over 200 though so you might not even consider them, but it might be worth it if you can afford it. The adjustibility w/o having to go active plus the "cal25 famous silk tweet" seems like i should get these to sound less harsh and more detailed w/o any major eq'in other than from the xover + general h/u controls. I am just curious on how an "aluminum woofer" might differ in sound from a typical woofer cone...? More detailed, harsher, etc? Im really trying to avoid any harshness while still having rich, detailed, and smooth sounding midrange. Can anyone thats heard the germs tell me how the mid sounds compared to a typical mid on a equivalently priced set up? [/QUOTE]
