Sail Panel Speakers
Sail Panel Speakers I have been outta the game for about 4 years, just got a 02 SOM Ws6 with only 51k miles on it yesterday...

Anyway, on the way to a crawfish boil the drivers side sail panel speaker blows out. ( AC/DC at moderate volume) The head unit is an aftermarket Kenwood fold out dvd screen. If im not mistaken, the speakers are 2 ohm correct? What kinda sound will I get with a 4 ohm, 2-way 6.5 speaker? Eventually I will be adding a 4 channel amp to power the front components and the sails. (I will be disconnecting the hatch speakers.) I found these at Best Buy, any input on them? Im not looking to win any sound competitions, just have clear sound when I turn up my music. I listen to mostly rock, with the occasional Reggae or Country.

Thanks in advance guys. Comments on the car would be appreciated as well.

You want a DVC midbass cone, but I've pretty much given up trying to tell people not to put cheap 2-way 6.5"s back there.

or the new CDT HD-6M DVC 6.5" Subwoofers (sailpanels)
If you're running off the stock monsoon amp, you're only sending bass to the sails.

Kee audio is great, legit, and provides us with good packages but these are total crap.
theres lots of good options out there. no need to limit your choices.

This would be a decidedly minority opinion. Do a search in the forum for "Bazooka" and you will find that almost everyone who has installed them has been very happy with them.

I'm glad you already realized that rear speakers are a waist! I put together a little system for ya using product I've come to find as the best bang for buck around but not low dollar budget by anymeans, this is all nice gear.
a JL 10w3 in a stealth box $250
an Alpine MRX-F65 amp $350 (110x2 @4 ohms + 320x1 @ 4 ohms bridged)
a Hertz ESK165 comps $225 (JL C3-650 2nd choice, JL C2-650 3rd choice)
wiring, speaker brackets $ 75 (4 guage)
Total: $900 thats alot of stereo for under a grand.

I was thinking 10w3 before I even found that preloaded box, its a decent deal too. I really like Hertz components, they're so tonally diverse and crisp and clear with tons of midbass so theirs no reason to go with anything else IMHO. Focal Polyglass line would be nice for the music you like as well, they're on clearance everywhere right now because they're being replaced.

i will be getting rid of my alpine type s 's in the sails i have. i just un plugged the wiring to them. i have Diamond audio D1 componets in the doors (got them for $70bux so i had to) and a arc sub from DD. 50 watts to the front, 170-180 to the sub and couldnt be happier.
Thank you for all the great info guys. I am fully aware of what a 10 in sub will do, as I had one in my old Ws6. I was looking for a temp fix so I could crank the volume up right now, without having to hear the blown sail speaker. Since I will be adding a 4 chan amp later, I will just disconnect the sail speakers for the time being.

I would like to know the same thing. I also have seen on some older posts that the holes do not line up and that you have to drill new ones. Is this still the case, or do they line up now?

I bought a set of Kicker 6.5" subs that are 2ohm. I installed them the same time I put in a set of 6.5" infinities in the doors and 4" co-axil pioneers in the hatch. I still have the stock head unit/amp. Everything sounds so much better
Anyways, there is plenty of bass and on most songs, the bass is in the center ("0"). Heavier bass songs, I actually have to turn it down otherwise it overpowers everything else. I have felt my seats vibrate with this setup.
Is it the low low low bass from a 12 or 10" sub, no, but does it sound great without adding a bigger sub, bigger amp, running wires all over the place. Sure. I did the 10" in a stealth box in my TA. Granted it sounded great, my current setup sounds damn good too. I wouldn't change it and I don't miss the 10" sub setup at all.
Just giving my $.02
