Default CDT or Arc Speakers?

Curious if anyone has compared the two different kinds of speakers from Kee and DD? Some of my speakers are blown so anything is going to be better than what I've got now. Here's what I'm looking at.

What kind of car? The Double D Mods door speakers are suitable for Firebird but not so much for Camaro. Camaro Monsoon systems have the tweeter component mounted in the center of the woofer rather than in a separate location as Firebirds do. The CDT speakers in the Kee Audio package have the convertible mount components that will work in both Camaro and Firebird.

I have no personal experience with Arc but I know that Dennis tests all of his products before recommending them so I'm sure they are a good product. Ian Kee also tests everything before offering them for sale and the CDT speakers have been well reviewed by the forum members who have installed them.

Sorry, forgot that. I'm used to another forum that has vehicle info on the side. It's a 98 Formula w/ the monsoon system.

In that case, either of the two will work well. The Bazooka subs for the sail panels are a popular choice that many members have used. The hatch area speakers are merely for rear fill so small coaxial speakers there are a reasonable substitute for the original small components. Perhaps someone else can comment on the choice of door speakers as I have no experience with the Arc speakers that Double D Mods is offering.
