not riveted. 3 hex nut screws is all.

 

i had the infinity perfect 6.1's and they made very little bass. look at the frequency response for them. they only play down to around 80hzs, they are deffinetly not good for bass at all. but they did sound pretty nice, awesome highs and pretty good mid range, but deffinetly not much bass at all. i suggest get them and run a 10 or 12 inch subwoofer along with them and cross everything over at 80hzs.

as for the stock speakers, i really like the front speakers in my 07. the backs could be a little better but like everybody says just fade towards the front a little bit and you'll be good. but the fronts i think are really pretty good speakers, the highs are loud and clear to me. my deck is also stock i just added a 10" sub and i'm very happy with my stereo. one of my last cars i had, had a big stereo setup with the infinity 6.1's and an alpine deck and 2 amps in it and i'm very happy going from that to what i have now. that car had a little more bass but thats about it.

 

The front has 6.5" drivers. My head unit oddly enough doesn't have the option to fade to the front or back. You'ld expect such a thing from a top of the line head unit...

 

You can fade with the CD8445. I have that HU also, to fade you have to be in Normal mode, not Advanced. It shows you how in the manual.

Set the fade in Normal Mode and switch back to Advanced Mode. It should save the fader settings.

 

ima get infinity 6012i's for the back

 

Right...but Normal mode is quite lame. No PEQ or time delay...

 

Yea Normal mode doesn't sound very good, but you can set the fader in Normal, then switch back to Advanced mode. The fader settings should still apply in Advanced.

 

oooooooh really? I must go try it this instant...

Edit: Sweet. It worked. Thank you for making my day!
