e.g. mounting the front drivers onto the door cards has its limits, it really needs proper mdf door pods, which means cutting the door skin (something I wasn't prepared to do).

If you're not to bothered about all this then I would say the Rainbow kit (as per my install) will be fine (don't set the amplifier gains at their highest though) or if you want even better sound then go for the JL Audio XR 650 drivers.

Thanks for this.

I don't want to do anymore work than you have done to be honest.

My thinking was i have the amp so why not use it???

Can you still get the Rainbow kit you got a cheaper rate like you mentioned??? PM if you would prefer.

Very pleased I just found this thread. I started one in the CSL section on PH to ask if it was possible to upgrade the speakers.

Good 'how to' write up. As stupid as it sounds to many the audio quality of the standard car would be a bit of a show stopper as the CSL I am looking to buy in the near future will be a daily and I have LOGIC7 in my current BM so have been spoilt.
