Discussion
Having spent the last 2 evenings fitting the MB Quart upgrade to my Tamora I have the standard speakers in the garage. They consist of a pair of 3"Panel speakers NXT or somrthing like that and 1 rear midbass clarion about 5" all work and are free to a good home.
Alternativly if nobody wants them they will go in the bin.
Cheers

Pics would be great. Did you go for the tweeter / 4" mid in the front doors and 6" mid in your rear panel?
Did you get the speakers from Carl. He has given me a "ball park" quote for the speakers / fitting, but it is quite expensive and I was also wondering how easy the install would be to do myself. I have fitted speakers / crossovers etc and fabricated spacers before, but cutting the leather doorcard scares me a bit

4" mids with seperate Tweeter fitted in the Front door panels
6.5" mid bass in the rear the car had 1 speaker in the rear center so fitted a blank grill to complete the look and save the need to re-trim the rear.
Crossovers mounted in the front doors and one mounted in the boot.
I got the speakers from Carl what a top bloke
Cutting the leather was easy used a sharpe craft knife, Cutting the panels was the hardest part. I think the price Carl charges is good seeing the work involved. Not a 5 minute job and not for the unskilled as mistakes willl be very costly.
There where 3 holes already in the rear panel but they were not evenly spaced

Very tidy job mate , now you just need to amp them 
Mb quarts are a lovely smooth sounding speaker with extra smooth midbass ,
but you really will need to amp them to get the best , as soon as you start driving road noise will rear its head and drown any bass out and as good as the onboard amp of the pioneer is , it will struggle

Nige , its better to over power than underpower car audio , although you running off the headunit is fine clipping and distortion will eventualy cause damage so its better to amp the system and run it at tickover than a headunit screaming its balls off , also quality will be far better through an amplifier than though the headunit

ive not quite got a tomato , but im trying to get a decent sound in my mx5 , its nothing headbanging like mcdonalds instll , just decent midbass thats audible in an mx5 at 70mph , at the mo im quite happy with , wickes roof flashed doors , alpine sxs-1757s components and a sony xm502x amplifier with a kenwood usb 7537 headunit , decent sound with the roof down and radio 2 is audible at motorway speeds with decent quality and no distortion.
