Buying speakers for the missus car, which needs either 5x7s or 6x8s to fit in the factory holes.

I bought these - http://www.cadencesound.com/cs3-57/

And they'e on the way in the mail.

But then I found these locally http://www.cadencesound.com/xs682/

I note the ones I bought have higher peak and RMS power specs, and are 3 way so may have arguably clearer sound distinction between ranges, but the 6x8s I'm assumign would have better bass response being a bigger speaker physically?

Thoughts? I'm tossing up if I should sell the ones I bought when they get here and go buy the 6x8s.

The 6x8s will cost me $10 more than the one's I bought - on the condition I can get what I paid for the first ones.

For reference I've bought 2 pairs of speakers to replace all the factory ones.

I might just buy those anyway as I think I may have got the sizes wrong, Chris on here (and a youtube clip) is telling me they are 6x8 not 5x7, I know they use the same mount but if I can get the bigger one as a direct fit then that's nice.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
