So, I'm planning to give you a review later, but here's a sneak-peak. I've been wanting to replace my front speakers ever since I bought my van in March, 2000. I've gotten all kinds of recommendations, all bad. I think I may have finally found the right speakers, albeit with some quid pro quos, but I have a problem with my system that I need to get fixed first before I'll know for sure. The upside: These speakers fit. HOWEVER, you have to extend the window crank handles. There ain't nothing out there that I've been able to find that will obviate this need. Here's what I've got: Blauplunkt Blue Magic, CL-100: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_023MGCL100/Blaupunkt-Blue-Magic-CL-100.html Had to turn the grill sideways because they have this bar with the Blauplunkt name on it that got in the way of the window cranks. High-clearance window crank from Go-Westy: http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=23349&category_id=&category_parent_id= This still can scrape across the surface of the speaker, but I'm probably going to take them off and file down the back, behind the knob, just a bit so they don't. If you pull out on it just a bit it doesn't scrape the speaker. After installation, of speaker and Dynamat, the driver's side sounded great. Only problem is my system isn't wired right or something. The right side doesn't work and the back speakers sound fuzzy for one radio station but not another. I have a lifetime warranty on the Crutchfield installation, so I'll let you know what they find out in a week or two. That's all for now. Marc Perdue, in central Va., home of Crutchfield.
