Cool cool, anyone know how easy it is to fit a 6.5" speaker into an ae101 door pod? Had a looksie today, stock speakers look about 6", bit of a chop job needed?

They look pretty similar to the 6750 that I just bought and I'm well happy with that, if they are as similar as they look then definately not a bad unit.

I wouldnt go near PI with a 10 foot barge pole. Last time i went there with the ex girlfriend a guy tried to tell me that it would be fine to underpower 2 12" 500w RMS subs in a rediculous cylindrical box (or not box :P) and the enclosure on the dam thing (From the recommended specs) was too small by 1/2 a foot cubed...

Only go there if you know what you are doing or you know what you want or you have researched before you go in. Don't expect good advice. If you want good advice go to a dedicated audio shop, you'll pay more but the extra is going towards expertise and customer support etc.. (well, one would hope) Simple as that.

The only places I go to for car audio is PI and Paul Money in Auckland.
I've never had any problems with PI and I've even bought a $1000 headunit from them!

As cespenar said, if you know what you want their fine to go to.
