Sail panel subs. Well I got rid of my stock sail panel subs. I replaced them with Audiopipe TS-AR6. The specs are 150 peak and 75 rms. Magnet is a decent size on them. I havent found any reviews on them and I currently havent listened to them yet. I will update on how they sounds when I give them a week or two to listen to them. I took some pictures for you guys if you wanted to have a look. I may not keep these for very long, but I got a decent deal on them. I will be saving up to either buy the Bazooka speakers or the CDT speakers. Enjoy and give me some feedback. Thanks.

I had those in my sail panels and the sound was quite good - a significant improvement over stock. However, Ian (Kee Audio) reports that he has had some problems with failures in them so he doesn't recommend them anymore. Mine lasted a couple of years without problems and were working fine when I sold the car.

I have the CDT'S and the driver side sounds like it has blown coils. Have had them less than a year. The full range CDT's in the hatch were also cracking but the cables going to the tweeter were hitting the speaker so I just bent them back and that fixed it....however that's just poor craftsmanship.

I have these in my sail panels and I think they sound pretty good. In my car I did have to take them out a few times and put in some dynamat .... Other than the rattling I think they sound good. I think after I got a 10in sub in the back I appreciated them more for the mid bass they provide if that makes sense ..

Twisted I am not using any amp with them, they run off of the factory monsoon amp. I am kind of impressed with these speaker, although they dont seem to have as low of a bass note as the stock speakers if that makes sense? Maybe because they dont have enough air space? If anyone wants to chime in I would be glad to try things. They sound much better than that factory fart noise coming from a blown speaker!

I thought the same thing regarding the low notes, but i was also getting alot of rattle. So i went back and installed mdf spacers which did give them a little more room to breath.. and that made them sounds better.

I may try the bazookas at a later date, im not really sure that these will make that much of a difference since I am going to put a full system in the car anyways. What size spacer did you use LS1SSZ28?
