Do the same speakers you mounted in the front fit in the rear panels?

Default I went with the Aerogel driver which I think is worth the extra couple bucks and (more)

extra effort at taking the extra magnet off. I think it is a higher quality material (ie better sound) than just a coated paper driver. It really is pretty easy once you read the write up. We were at a disadvantage bacause I had not done it before but my friend Lewis is very talented. The tweeter can be glued in but there is a retaining clip that is still usable when you take the old tweeter out. Since you have the door panel off for the guides it is a PERFECT time to do this....temperatures permitting. One really important thing to do is adjust the internal eq settings when you are all done as the tweeters tend to run a little hot. Those internal settings can really make the Audax speakers sing. If you have more questions do not hesitate to contact me.

Default I'm not sure as all I used was the front speakers to achieve a reasonable sound stage (more)

Basically left the rear speakers off. If I had to guess I would think they would fit. If you wait until nicer weather we could do it at my garage!!!

Default Thanks a lot. One more question. It appears that the tweeter you used...

is discontinued and replaced by what appears to be model # TM025F7 which appears to be otherwise identical except it has a Titanium dome and is a few bucks more expensive. Is this what you would suggest using?<ul><li><a href="http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage.cfm?&amp;WebPage_ID=3">Audax page at parts express..</a></li></ul>

Default I looked at the specs...pretty decent. The only issue is...

...sometimes when they "improve" a speaker, it's not for the best. As I haven't heard it, I can't whole-heartedly recommend them.

BUT...for that price, I would take the gamble.

Default Can you help me find mine...

It is AWOL, and I have a fear it developed legs, and walked off with some workers who did some work in the basement at moms.
