Bought a “new” car and I have been gathering gear for a 3 way front stage and single sealed 10” sub stage.

All drivers will be installed in their factory locations.

Tweeters in a sail panel behind factory grill.

4” midrange in the upper door. Max depth 2” preferably neo since the the mount is angled.

Mid bass is located in the REAR of the front lower door. Up to an 8” with a depth of 3.5” will fit.

I could just make it easy and order the Gladen ONE 200 GOLF 5 component. It has a 8”, 4” and 1” drivers. Passive. It bolts right in. $560. I’m trying to do better than that. I still need to source an amp.

I can get the CDT stuff for under $250 and the Dayton drivers will cost me $160. Either set is fine budget wise, I’m just trying to stay away from $560 Gladen set. I will do the Gladen set if I have to though.

I have a 4 channel and a mono block. Also have a DSP. Either I find a 2 channel or go all out and find a 6 channel and shelve the 4 channel.

I also ordered the Pioneer DMH-2660NEX a few days ago.

What do you think about that radio, what's making you go with that one? I was going to go with that but I'm leaning towards the DMH-2550NEX.

I’m still waiting for the unit to arrive. I like that it has no buttons.

When are you supposed to get it, I'd like to hear what you think. I'm going to place my order next Friday
