Looking at new speaker options - any thoughts?

Speaking of which, ya i forgot, I am really considering the BA PRO 60 SE too.
Would have to go ebay for those...

Thanks!

On those BA's for $299.99 at Crutchfield and for those that have them, where did you hide the crossovers and do the tweeters mount in the factory position using the factory trim cover?

Can't speak for the BA crossover, as I don't know it's dimensions, but...

I was able to mount the crossover on these speakers to the interior metal behind the inner door skin without much trouble.

IIRC, a little forward, & a little below the window/lock switch panel on the armrest.
A few test fits with some double stick tape gets you to where you need to be...

I just installed a whole new frontal system including the Alpine SPR-17S component speakers. Can't recommend them enough. Quite affordable for a component kit and having already put them to the test, they perform VERY well.

It all comes down to personal preference IMO. Your best bet would be to go to a few stereo shops and listen to various speakers powered to the same level as what the amp you purchased is rated.

What sounds good to some may not have the sound you prefer, so like just about everything else, personal preference is subjective.

I've been a fan of Polk speaker systems for years, but there again...

Well, I would hope so.

Any modifications needed to get these to fit?

I would go with MB Quart. If you have never heard them find a shop near you that has them and have a listen.Best speakers I have ever heard. shawn

For what I wanted to do, yes.

The front doors have a deep mount pod already in place. I dremeled the inner edges to a slight smooth bevel so the woofers fit flush in them. Nice and snug. Very minimal modding.

Also, mounted the tweets in the door trim by cutting a hole in the door panel. The stock tweet position is pretty worthless for a solid tweet upgrade. Modding only consisted of the hole in the door panel.

Very happy with the install and it's very clean and flush.
