Careful with the window adjustments, overdo it and you can slice your weatherstripping up.

You can also bust a window if you aren't careful. Ask me how I know...

is the window wiggling side to side or front to back in the door? If it's moving front to back it sounds like the mounts at the bottom of the glass are loose. I believe the adjustment above is for side to side mvement. Don't try to remove all play from the window, because then the glass is forced to absorb the shock of closing the door. You will very quickly be out $298 for some new glass and have a large mess to clean up.

the main difference is the mid is smaller then the old one
but the new drivers are beefy as hell and the tweet is bigger on the new set its the upgraded tweet not the 1 that comes with the es-642i

The Es-642i set


The subs side by side

Those tweeters look interesting, with chamber and all. Definitely looks like a huge leap from the cheapo tweeters CDT was using before.

I'd really like to compare my 12 inch with the sub on the right in that comparison

I'm curious to hear the CDT's and compare em to my polykevlars with no deadening in my car because I don't feel like adding the weight and I'm not competeing. Shoot me a PM whenever you get that sucker done...
