There are allot of decent 3.5s out there and they all fit under the stock grill.
I would suggest Infinity, Eclipse Point Source, Alpine Type S or R, Boston Acoustics.
Stay away from the Pioneers, Sony, JVC, Pyle, Clarion, Rockford, Audiovox, Dual, MTX because in that size they sound like crap and have a lousy tweeter.
he doesnt even have a mustang
I ran this set in my last mustang. JL Audio: Products IIRC, it took some work to get the 3.5 mid drivers to fit properly, and I know it took some work to build sealed pods for the 6.5's on the doors.
Get 300-500hz blockers then. You only want mids/highs coming out of them and that will allow you to crank it without blowing them.I already have some infinity reference 6.5" for the door that I need to put in. I think I will just try the inifinity 3.5" reference dash speakers but crutchfield showed they wouldn't fit. I think I should just get them anyway and do whatever mods are required to fit them in the dash. If they don't come with a bass filter, then i will have to get one from the local shop as I don't even have dash speakers at the moment ;-)
The JLs are quite excellent but if you want something that sounds just as good (but with better midbass) and is allot easier to install then I would reccomend these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ECLIPSE-6-5-3-W...39190627QQptZCarQ5fSpeakersQQsalenotsupported
You can put the tweeters on the mirror covers and I believe the older 3 series BMWs have a tweeter pod that fits perfectly (5.0Droptop knows) and the mids in the factory openings. You would have a stellar front stage and a nice accurate sound.
Problem with great speakers though is you need a good amp and source unit cause they will show you your weak spots right away.
The problem with the Infinitys is their tweeter sits so high up that they would press against the factory grills. The older series JUST fit under the grill and the new ones are a good 1/2" higher.sounds like a good deal you should be able to make anything fit back there, its alot of room
Because of the frequency range that they will play the final load will still be close to 4 ohms (assuming he didnt buy the 2 ohm Infinitys). Final load is really only important at frequencies below 200hz. I have run 8 speakers off a two channel amp and the load never dropped below 4 ohms because 6 of the speakers were running above 300hzhow are you going to run your door speakers and the 3.5" speakers in the dash off your factory deck?
You only have 4 speaker outputs on the deck and 6 Speakers. If you wire the fronts in parralle your ohms will be to low for the deck. You can try wiring the front speaker in series but I feel the 12-15watt rms your deck puts out will not sound great.
I am quite the fan of eclipse audio. I used to run one of their head units(forget the model number. CD H/U, 8v pre outs, no onboard amp, etc). My midbass was insane with that setup. I was running it off an xtant 302a, and I had the 6.5's in fully sealed enclosures.
Yeah, I had to fully attenuate them and switch their on board EQ to "off axis" to smoothen it out. My decks eq curve is very conservative too. At 16K its flat and at 10K I am only boosting 2db and 6k is 1 db with 4K at 2db as well. Very smooth and accurate sound.The Boston Pros are a kickass speaker, but a little too bright for me.
