I pulled a nice set of Boston Acoustic Pro Series 6.5x3s out of my old C5Z and would like to install them in my '10 C6 GS but know that 3-ways are a bit harder to install in a C6.

Does anyone have pics of 3-way setups that they run? I do not want to modify the A-Pillars or anything like that, really just looking to put the woofers down low right next to each other with the tweeter up high in the door.

Does anyone know of any adapters that would accommodate this? Or alternatively, any websites that will custom build some adapters?

Thanks!

Here's a few. The pic of the speakers in the door is just mocked up. I made a custom spacer for the mid. You will have to trim the door panel slightly, it doesn't affect anything and can't be seen. I made a template to find a decent position. I ditched this setup because the image is too low for me. I went 3 ways again but mids up high and tweeters in the pillars. Make sure to use some closed cell foam and seal around the speaker to the door panel. This will keep sound from bouncing around in the door panel.

Hey Curt, how do the 3 ways sound? Active or passive crossover?

Those were jl audio c5 653s running passive driven by a JL HD 900/5. Just used the dsp in the kenwood 9902s. Cpl things..I didn't seal the the air between the speaker and the door panel and I should have sealed the mid from the backside. Low end was good, midrange (900-3k) sucked and highs were ok. The mid was either dull or if EQd to sound decent it would give me ear fatigue.
The new setup will start as passive with dynaudio 362s, mosconi amps and mosconi dsp. Mid in the stock upper location and tw in pillar.
