So wait, the issue is only the diameter of the stock metal plate that the woofer mounts too? Dremel again!

Alrighty...

JL Audio Sub 6w3v3 fitted into the factory stock location.. Required a .5" speaker ring. However, the grill cover can't go back on, won't clear it. Anyone have any idea how to reduce the factory sub box by 1/2 its volume? (JL Spec says 5L, but factory sub is 10L i believe) Just can't go quite low enough. But will report back after tuning...

Factory sub is 10ohms, so any kind of 8ohm / 4 ohm sub will cause your factory amp to overheat. I won't try it.

Tweeter / Mid bass are 4 ohms, they sounds great... I think it has to do with the car being small and tweeter up close to you.. I had to really tune down the tweeter.

Front low, is 2ohm, I had it running with the MBquart low (4 ohms) for a bit, and they are barely moving... so i won't tried that either.

Cleansweep EQ'ed the system, so i tried to EQ defeat, sounds exactly the same. So either the cleansweep is retarded, or... the signal is really flat.

What are you guys doing about the rear 4" speakers (the ones right about the subs)? I haven't seen anyone talking about them anywhere. Problem is that I'm finding it easy to find 3 way components for the front 3 speakers (6.5, 4, tweet) and subs for the rear 6.5, but I can't find just a 4" speaker for the rear - they're all coaxial with tweeters. Is this ok? Will it throw the sound off? Fitment? What would be the best way to power them?

Thanks,
RJ
