    I hope 5 x 7's don't sound like chit because I just bought a pair of Boston SL80's and a pair of SX85's for my Superduty. :boxed:
    Thanks ROZ

    I'm no expert but I think the 5 x 7's sound fine. I've got some Infinity's in the wifes ride and they sound pretty good.

    I've personally heard some pretty good sounding 5X7's. Infinity Kappa seperates are one of those. Solid midbass with a bit more low end volume versus 6.5's. There are a number of other high quality sets in this size to choose from. But converting to 6.5's is also a sound idea

    5x7's will be fine if you are just sending them the mids and highs. Install a sub and send all the bass to it, your system will sound nice and clear at high volumes.

    I ran MMATS Pro Audio 5" x 7" in my last trucks system and they sounded great but my Arc Audio 6.5's in my boat system do sound better.

    Ok I talked to at least 6 different shops today and they all said 5x7 unless I was going with seperates. So I will be returning these tonight in exchange for 5x7's unless someone hear can talk me out of it.

    Tell me the last high end car audio installation you saw that featured a speaker that wasn't round BESIDES a Kicker Solobaric square sub? That's what I thought.
    Solobaric is "high end"? That's funny!
    Those things are good for two things:
    1. Cigar ashtrays
    2. Giving a salesguy at Wired for Sound something to push.
