nah i do not, i can tell you that the cut out is 50.5mm though for the flush mount option on the tweet. that comes out to be just a hair under 2" (1.98" to be exact) so i guess a 2 inch holesaw will be perfect.

Hey Tc, I read in one of your posts that you have a kicker 550.2 powering your PGs and you set the gin to 150wrms per side.

I was thinking about getting this amp: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=3953.

Since it puts out 150wrms out of the box, does that mean I will not have to tweak the gains? can I just run it right out of the box without any problems?

that amp will do fine, you will still however have to set the gain to the way you want it.

i chose the zx550.2 cause i wanted to have extra power on tap. you know in case i ever upgrade, i like headroom anyway.

I just bought some... I'll tell you how they turn out... audiosavings had no 6.5"s ( //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif ) and 5.25's would fit w/ no modification...

A hole saw is the easiest way, but if the door metal is not double-steel, you might be able to get away with tin snips.

Will on Friday.. or Saturday.... Since nobody has them I can't get the dimensions before hand to start cutting...

i have the 5.25 RSDs and the midbass is still pretty **** good. I have only about 75-80 watts RMS to them off of a Profile AP1040. I will be ditching my rears and deadening the doors and then bridging my amp to give the comps about 150 RMS over the summer.
