Im lookin for some speakers for my 320i cab, but there so much to choose from i havnt a clue!

I want speakers all around so thats 4 x 5"1/4, want best i can get with good bass (probly not going to be much base coz they 5"1/4)

I was just going to buy INFINITY PERFECT 5.1s as they are the most expensive and probly the best but thats not always the case

Im using infinity reference in the front of my car and they do sound good!
Ive mounted the tweeter inside the factory mirror mounted tweeter pods :D
Got Alpine in the back but not sure what model as they were already fitted.
I also replaced the crappy original speaker wire for some better quality oxegen free stuff i had,much clearer sound.

Using an Alpine HU by the way,dont know if that makes much difference?

ive put the alpine speakers all around in as well,the fronts came with a seperate tweeter to be pillar mounted and offer decent base but not teeth rattling.

I want best bass i can get coz i heard it quite hard to get bass in to a cab through subs... and im also thinkin of getting an lpg tank in the boot coz of the poor mpg and lack of performance on a 320i :-x

They are pretty good the infinitys i've got pioneers accelerates at the front with motorola tweetes and 4 way 6x9 kenwoods at the back and 2 15inch l7 subs for bass disturbing. But you can get good bass in a cab my mate also has 2 15 inch orions in his
