I'm trying to avoid removing my door panels a lot. It's a pain.

edit: Also trying to not replace my tweeters but if it is a must then it is.

Hey Racerx250's,

Do you have any listening impressions of the ID OEMs by now?

Is the vehicle you are using for this setup the one in your avatar? If so, seal up your door. That door is not built too well for some powerful midbasses, or any for that matter.

Also, if you haven't already, do not use that plastic mounting device that came with the factory speaker. Make your own, seal up the door and brace it. If you have, good for you.

Ive heard the new RE XXX comp set and it sounded sick. Had that throaty, crisp, full sound that pro audio drivers give on the low vocals.

Does the Id oem similar to the CTX or the CX series?

My OEMs sound pretty nice up to 2500, and I've had them up to 3200. The XXX mids are better for midbass duty only, better 3-way. I've heard a car with the HSK's off a Sundown 100.4. The doors were deadened and sealed. They sounded decent (I was sitting in the passenger seat and the T/A was set to the driver), but I noticed midbass was kinda weak too. I think the OEMs will make you the happiest overall...
