So the past few days, I've recieved a few packages in the mail.

http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/seas-soft-dome-tweeters/seas-prestige-27tdfc-h1189-textile-dome-tweeter/

and

http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/seas-woofers-6-7/seas-prestige-u18rnx/p-h1571-7-curv-cone-woofer/

Also

I will be running two drivers and two tweets per door. I'm no glasser and I want it to look as professional as possible, so I've decided to take the doors to a local shop around here. And he will begin on my doors starting next thursday if all goes to plan. I've decided to place the eq inside the center console department. Reason buying it was to give me some control over certain freqs as well as being able to control the volume of the subwoofer amplifier on the fly and hopes to cut out some engine noise at the same time. I haven't finished completely yet, ran out of day light yesterday, so I hope to finish it up today before heading into work.

Now let me start off by saying these drivers are the best thing I have ever layed my hands on in regards to speakers. I've never seen this kind of craftmenship and design within a speaker before, only in upper model subwoofers. I was blown away by looking at them. They are huge as well. About 5" in depth and 7" wide. I cannot wait to get these in. Also, I'm hoping my new amplifier for these will be in before the doors are finished. The guy said about a week from start to finish. And I ordered the amp a few days ago. On with the pics!!

I tell you what, my camera does these drivers no justice. I thought my IAs were big, these literally dwarf over those lol. I wish I had a better camera. :(

Now, I don't have small doors, but just to give you guys an idea of driver placement.

The next pics will show you my progress on installing the XEQ. I will need to order some Elbow shaped M - F rcas because these damn Monoprice RCAs are just too big :lol:

Rerouting the RCAs that go to the amplifiers.

And thats where I stand right now. I hope to get everything finished and cleaned up today as I've only been listening to ONE speakers for the past 2-3 weeks! :o Idk what happen but some channels went out, I'm hoping to fix that as well here. Good thing these IAs get loud lol

You selected some very nice drivers. I kinda gringed when I saw that you are running two sets per door. I am wondering why you bought these. If you just wanted to be loud and clear there are better and cheaper drivers available.
