The word 'amazing' and '5x7' don't belong in a sentence together. But those are good if you don't want to get an adapter bracket and get 5.25's.

Yes....Infinitys are also cheaper. http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?stk_code=inf5725cf

They really aren't all that bad if youre on a very tight budget and you're just powering them with a HU, although they will distort at moderate to high volumes.

Well, i talked to the manager at my local car audio place and he said 5.23's require a MultiChannel AMP..is that true? Or atleast would be pointless without one. Can i get some more information as to why 5 1/4's are so much better than 5/7's, im getting a box with 2 10's and a 700 w AMP btw..Have factory 6x9s in back and factor 5x7's in front..with 2 dash tweeters..i need a new HU also

Well, its not necessary, but comp speakers sound way better when amped. But if youre just gonna use your HU, 5.25's will still sound better than 5x7's

Because they are round, not oval.

could just a good HU supply enough power even to power 5.25's and the crossovers? or are u are u just talking about 5.25 speakers..and not components

HOW WOULD I USE 5.26's..when i have 5x7's nows? are they interchangeable?

1) Crossovers aren't powered, they just split up frequencies.

2) For me personally, using the amp off an HU to power a speaker will never be enough, but you can hook it up and see how it sounds to you. If you're happy, then youre done, but if you want more you can get a separate amp. As far as regular 5.25 or component speakers....it's up to you and how much you want to spend.

They aren't interchangeable, yoou'll ned to get an adpater bracket or make an MDF mounting ring.
