Wow the JBL MS-8 is deffinatly better, and the LCD 31-band EQ makes it very tempting. Hopefully can find it for less than $800 though. I'm not looking to replace my Diamond Audio MachDaddy's. They might not be the best anymore, but they have been hitting for me years. Plus they are already in a great box and wired for 2-Ohm load on the Orion 275G4.
I'd like to use stock speaker location (2005 GTP) 1 6.5 inch and 1 tweeter in each front door, and 2 6.5 inch in the back dash. So what your saying is location isn't so imporant if i have each speaker at a different/better cross over point? The front door speakers are on the same horrizon about a foot apart.
Thanks for all the help too btw.
