Twiddler upgrade
I am thinking this has been beat to death 
am wanting to upgrade front twiddlers and the rear speaksers on C5 Z. I have done a lot of searching, but have not found what i m looking for yet.
I know they are 3.5 and 5.25 respectivley, but am looking for a good quality speakers, some of the posts I found suggest jl c2 350x and c2 525x, the 350 aren t available any more..
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
TIA

ok.. my local audio guy has the C2 525x, but he says he is sure the C5 rears are 1 ohm and the JL c2 will blow me out of the car,,
not sure.. any searching I have done on the bose rear ohms is all over the place, some say 1 some 1.5 some 2.
So am asking the audio gurus here to educate me please.

Well I went with Jl c2 350x in the front and c2525x in the back, piece of cake replacing twiddlers, The back was pretty simple also until... the c2 525 wouldn t fit poperly. The magnet is a little bigger then the bose and is too deep to go in the speaker box properly, so instead of taking the dremel and cutting up the box, I installed the speakers with a shim between the mounting bracket and the speaker box, installed the screws and secured them down, they obviously are not flush with box, but i m sure it won t matter and the trim piece will re install just fine. I did the research on these, and everything I read said they would fit easily. Well thats not quite true.. This is jus my experience. They are about 5/16 deeper than the bose and that makes the difference. I could have maybe returned them and went with another brand that was a little thinner, but wanted to keep fronts and backs the same, prob would not matter anyways. just my thoughts.
And is a huuuuge improvement over the over rated Bose system. Updated head unit cp yrs ago to Kenwood DMX9005S Echelon..
