That's correct. its just a workaround with what you got.

But if you plan on going all out I'd just get what you need now. Especially if you want to give those speakers a fighting chance.

I agree with Bigaudiofan that you get what you pay for but i also think you can make some of the crappiest speakers work with the right install, tuning and clean power.

There are a lot of new 6ch amps out now that have built in DSPs. You can get one of those. I'm also assuming any subs are on a separate amp.

Even if they suck, you still got that sweet suitcase.

I would of added 5 bucks and went with a higher end 2 way setup. What I've found in the business is a well installed 2 way setup can beat a 3 way setup that was simply installed any day. If you're running the 3 ways off the head unit you're going to severely under power them, take 22 watts and divide between 3 speakers, not to mention the power loss in the crossover.

I am going with amplifier on those.

Update: They don't fit in the doors or the dash... so I gave it a shot by doing some fabrication(Door Speaker). They sounded pretty good(of course better than stock speakers) but since I can't use 3 way like I wanted to, They ended back up in that big A** suitcase they came in. I listen to JBL Club COMP on my friends car and I'm little impressed with them so I'll order those.

what type of fitment issues are you having? Information is scarce on the web about these speakers. what is the mounting depth of the woofers, and the cutout size/overall size of the mids?

Go with a set of Image Dynamics CXS or Focal's you'll be much happier. Make sure you get a spacer ring for the mounting depth.

Yeah I'm able to fit almost any speaker in those doors that is a 6.5

Which focal series you are talking about? I had ID before in my old car i had before.. never liked them. Never was clear.. may be because I never used amp with them?

For Focal - I would stay away form integration and access level, too expensive for what you get. You are just paying for name.

Once you get into:

Performance - Expert Line (polyglass or flax)
or K2 line sounds good to me.

you are paying for name but at least they sound good and are worth it.

I think your system was never tuned properly if you never heard them clearly.
I've installed at least 13 pairs in Z's and never had a complaint.

For focal I would look at the discontinued model polyglass or the K2, PS, and performance lines.
