    Boy, if you don't like the CDTs...that's some badass little drivers, there.
    Ranked No. #1 in initial quality

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    To prevent them detaching over time maybe you could put a slight notch in the sides of the tabs of the frame and loop a thin wire across the bottom of the magnet anchoring it in the notches.

    Thought about doing something like that, Jim, but if they do come out, there's really nowhere for them to go, and not much chance of damage, so I'll wait, if, as, and when.

    In the meantime, I wouldn't mind knowing how well the RTV works, and if my read on what it took to do the job was correct.

    so these are the new 220 GTO's?

    can they be made to fit with a toilet gasket? that was WAY easier.

    The 220 GTO's did not look OEM, this does.

    i'll give you that. the mount looked oem though. and WAY easier to do.

    mine are currently covered by a dash-mat, so i don't think it would make a difference either way.

    The tweeter is mounted in the flush mount cup...it should come out.

    looks like the tweeter should twist lock by looking at the three slots around the perimeter of the flush mount cup.

    Ah - so what I'm currently seeing as the speaker is two pieces - I'll check that shortly - thanks, Steve.
