Would you mind opening your own thread? I wouldn't care but we are looking for two different things. You want a CD and I do not. You will probably get more views that way too...

I hear what both of you are saying. I am not sure if the infinity will fit in this fairing though. Any details on depth or magnet size in comparison with the DBs? Thanks!

So the Infinitys won't fit. The grills are too big. I have a max of 6.1" and the Crutchfield rep said they are 6.4" so I need to find something else. I would prefer to use the same speakers in the fairing as in the lowers if possible. I am going to pull my Soundstream PN4.520D (anyone want a deal on a three week old amp?) and go with the NVX (if I can find one in stock...). I plan to run the 5.25s parallel on two channels at 2 ohms and the 6.25s on the other two channels at 4 ohms...I will be going with the Sony DSXM-50BT.
