What dash speakers do you use?

[blinkwatt]

1. Make of speaker

OEM midrange matched with a MB Quart Reference 3/4 component tweeter

2. Model number

If you are really interested I will dig up the receipt.

3. Approx. cost

$90 on clearance,expensive for just tweeters. Made Germans for my German car.

4. Your level of satisfaction

I can actually hear cymbals crashing now,I'm really happy with the improvement.

5. Any customization to the car or speaker in order to make the speaker fit.

Nope,not with the tweeter,just pop the old one out put the new one in. I used a hot glue gun to hold the tweeter in place and it's worked well so far.

MB Quart PFC 210 (4" mid w/ 1" tweet mounted coaxially)

this speaker is now out of manufacture; the replacement is PVF 210 (4" tweet w/ 1.6" tweet) this will still fit if mounted coaxially. the sound is sensational.

@ insite,

How did you end up mounting the coaxial?

the MB quart separates are unique in that you can mount them separately or you can install a coaxial standoff in the woofer that holds the tweeter. in this configuration, i simply unglued / unscrewed the factory speakers from the dash grilles. i then screwed in the new MB Quarts (they mate right up). if i recall, i did add an extra bracket (i may have used it from the old speakers & cut them up). it was pretty easy. i put the crossovers behind the oddments trays in back of the center console.

Did yours have the box type crossover?

Well....I have the Hertz Mille 3-way system with the ribbon midrange drivers in my dash.....absolute PITA to get them in but Oh My do they sound amazing. As to cost.... since my car is a demo car for an audio shop expensive, but barely reasonable. Retail? Dont even ask.....

Mine came with more than tweeters. Don't most come with two 6.5, 2-way speakers and a seperate small tweeter next to it? Or is that for the Bose package only. I've never seen a Boxster with Only tweeters in the front dash.

It has the midrange and tweeter in the dash but I wanted to hear the highs better so I only changed the tweeters and it worked like I wanted it to.

@ husker,

Can you take apart the tweeter part of the two way and just use the woofer? I wouldn't mind the bass sounding a little bit tighter if it's a straight plug ang play.
