Thanks Spyder Man. I didn't do the math surrounding the Morel replacement, but I can see now that the pair of CAW 538s are sized correctly for the Bose box. They really do sound pretty good. ...

I use my '03S as a daily driver. I have a 20ish mile commute each way. When the weather is nice, I put the top down, which makes the commute even better.
