Greetings,
I am going out today to make my rounds, and listen to speakers at local car stereo shops for my father 03 spyder. From my understanding most people here are using Focals or MB Quarts, both the type of sound my father would enjoy (I am more of a polk or infinity girl myself).
Last night I did some exploratory surgery, and figured out how all the speaker areas come apart, and bought myself a new soldering iron, and figured it all out.... save for how to unclip the rear speakrs. Damn the itallians and their complicated connectors! Alghough I am confident that when I am not on Vicodin and Valium (recent oral surgery, not recreational) and doing this at three in the morning, I will be able to figure it out.
I probably wont be buying today, unless I bump into any open box deals that fit and have the correct mounting depth, but I just wanted to ask before I go out.
Do the maserati speakers have any goofy impedance/crossover/ect issues that I should be aware of before I start buying up new toys for the father? Also, will the crossovers already in the system be compatable with aftermarket drivers so long as they are reasonable and similarly designed. (not paper of course)
To confirm, they are 6.5inch speakers in the front, and 5.25s in the rear right? Also, I did not find any tweeters in the rear in my exploratory surgery, did I miss something or are they just used as mid drivers... which would be smart of them. Also, if I got royally lazy, and simply upgraded to better quality speakers that were coaxial (yeah, really lazy, like post oral surgery lazy) do the internal crossovers limit the range of the door drivers in these cars, or can I just pop them in, unplug the tweeters, and tell my father not to cover up brilliantly placed the door drivers with his thighs?
Thoughts? Thanks for saving me all my bumbling around with your wisdom.

Oh, and I will be checking the thread on my phone while I am out, so I will see if any wisdom has been shared before I make any open box impulse buys. Thanks again.
