Never heard them, but they're just supposed to give you more midbass. The CMX line is nice. You won't be disappointed

CMX265 set sells for $359.99 on http://www.premier-audio.com. The Kicks sell fo $20 more. Premier Audio is an authorized intenet dealer, so that should be fairly accurate pricing.

the cmx's are a nice set no doubt, great reproduction and not harsh at all. great off axis tweet. the kicks will be a nice set.

Both are great sets, my vote goes for the ES comps, my buddy and cousin are both using the ES comps and i can not complain about a single thing on them. They have a awesome midbass, the tweeters are very clear and smooth and they can take as much power as you can give them with no problems what so ever.

I have had a few different sets in my M3 also. HDs sounded fairly good with lots of sound deadening, but my Germaniums sounded just superb. The CMX is a good compromise between the GERMs and the SLCs. You will love them.

Question: Are you going to be mounting them to the door panel in the factory location or are you going to make a baffle on the door? There is a huge difference between the two. Also if you are going to mount to the door not the panel be sure to watch out for the window track behing the speaker.

mmm, once you hit 350+ for the CMX kick's, i think i'd be entirely too tempted to grab a set of Germaniums instead.

Very true. Either way, you would not be disappointed with either of them.

You definetely won't be dissapointed, Rick //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I'm installing my new amp tommorrow, a 4150XXK to replace my old Eclipse EA3422. Should be interesting to hear how the germs handle 3 times as much power. The gain nob will be my friend i think.
