im looking to finally upgrade my speakers and am looking in to components. i was leaning towards the alpine type s or the mb quart dse216... im also concerned if they would fit because i know we have little mounting depth :(. what are some you guys recommend?

I have Adire components and I had to make a spacer for it cause the magnet was too big. Dont remember exactly what their mounting depth is.
Id look into Image Dynamics, ADS, Focal, CDT or Rainbow.

so im guessing that ur budget is like around 150 or less? see if u can snag a set of oz vectors. there supposed to be amazing. also have only heard good things about DLS. theres also some authorized dealers on www.caraudio.com/vb that can get you some of these speakers for good prices.

Here you go, I can't say enough good things about Elemental Designs (http://www.edesignaudio.com/category.php?type=sp&cur=USD) , and I've heard there components are awesome. I'm installing my 11 Ov2 this weekend!!

Actually, B14's have a good amount of mounting depth to work with. You can fit 2.5" depth, and a 6.5" diameter speaker.
I would definitely look into Elemental Designs. I have the eDi 6500 components (re-badged CDT HD62's- 450 dollar components) that go for around $315. They also have the eDi 6000s components that go for $150 which is probably right in your alley. The 6500's have a 2.75" mounting depth. I had to use a spacer made out of 3/8" plywood, but the door panel goes back in perfectly and these speakers sound amazing.

You can fit a 3/4" thick spacer with no interference from the door panel.

i was going to put my JL 650Cs-i components in the b13...but im going to sell them instead. I opted for regular coax speaker..kicker ds60's....they sound nice as hell, weren't expensive, and i crank the shit out of them and my JL 12W6v2 and they don't distort a bit...
sheeeit, i wish i could afford Focal :(
