Update on avincar acura speaker kits
Due to the number of messages I get with questions about our TSX and CL-S speaker kits, let me update everybody on their status:
1) we do have all the speakers in stock at present. We are making the rings for the door speakers per order. We ran out off Honda/Acura speaker plugs and those are coming.
2) I don't recommend using the 6x9s as subs with an aftermarket amp. They can handle the electrical power but don't handle low bass as well with bigger amps.
3) I wouldn't upgrade just the tweeters and subs. Get the whole kit. The drivers are all matched.
4) The 6x9s no longer require any mods to the TSX tweeter grille - their plastic ring is now removable.
5) I don't recommend using the mids and tweet components with the low-power crossover that comes with the kit - a higher-power crossover network should be used that costs like $35 more but gives more tweeter power handling and eliminates midrange "hash".
We probably won't be shipping any more kits until the New Year... we are swamped with the move at present.
For those who haven't heard, these kits are 6-driver, three-way kits for the CL-S and TSX that run off of the OEM amp. Silk tweeter, poly mid/woofer with rubber surrounds. The mids and tweets are European, and the 6x9s are made in the US. They've been tested in the cars they are going into, there are reviews on the site, and they are totally plug and play. For any questions, please email me at acurazine at avincar dot com , thanks.

In using a higher-order crossover, would you run both the mids and tweets off of the same channel? (I don't suppose anyone makes an adapter harness, to help with all of the rewiring one might want to do with the stock amp...)

Eldude, can you give us a little more info on the "higher-power crossover network" you mentioned in item 5 of your post? Does it just replace the crossover cap? Is additional rewiring required? What does it do? etc.
