Oh, and none of them had a good replacement option for the 6x9 anyway. I was unable to find a source for the Audison equipment here in he US. Their US distributor did not return my call.

Nothing installed yet, but I’ve decided to go with a small powered sub like the Alpine unit on the floor behind the drivers seat. I’ll start with that and see how I like it first. If I can still hear the crappy 6x9 I’ll just disconnect it and run with the powered sub. I’ll probably tap the signal from there anyway. If I’m still not happy, then I’ll try replacing the “HK” speakers. I think at the end of the day, that’s about as good as it’s going to get for i8 audio without spending thousands on a custom high end installation.
