CDT HD 6" speakers from cbrstereo.com

I haven't heard a speaker set that can be had under $600 that can rival them, MHO. Smooth, warm, and natural.

What about the HD 642s? Would these be a better choice? I'm really not sure how much of a sound difference there would be.

I'm not a big fan of three ways, I'm a believer in as few crossover points as possible, but I haven't heard the CDT ones.

Tom,

Check out the Infinity Kappa 60.5CS 6-1/2" component speakers at my online store. They are bad azz speakers at resonable price. Here is the link http://www.tlelectronics.com/catalog...roducts_id=134

The MSRP is $349.95+S/H. And my store price is $189 with FREE S/H. :)

Tuan Le, how would you get 6.5" components into the front doors of a C5? Aren't the front speakers 3.5"? :confused: If you could help me out here, then we might end up with a nice little win\win situation. :yesnod: You get a little extra business, and I won't have to settle for 3.5's. :D :hurray: :party:

Sorry for the late reply. But I will take some pictures for you later on today. With the front stock speakers and their built-in amps removed, you can definitely fit 6.5" speakers in there and a set of tweeters also. :D :cheers:

Below are the pics. Sorry for taking so long.

The speakers below are my old Pioneer 6.5" component set. I have just replaced them with a new set of Infinity Kappa 60.5CS 6.5". These new ones are BAD AZZZZZ. You can look up the full specs here. http://www.tlelectronics.com/catalog...roducts_id=134

This is with the stock speakers removed.


This is the speaker the MDF speaker template.


And this is with the Pioneer component set installed. The cross-over piece is installed behind the tweeter. :)

Can you replace the bose speakers, with aftermarket speakers without changing HU or adding an amp.

The short answer is no because the stock door speakers have built-in amps.

If you are going to add aftermarket speakers, you will need an external amp and an OEM adapter to connect from stock headunit to that amp. Or you can get a new aftermarket headunit with internal amp.
