I'm looking for a center channel speaker. Is there another option besides the $90 OEM one? I'm sure there are better quality speakers that would fit. Also, since my car didn't come with one, do I need to get some mounts and such?

Thanks!

When I had the ms-8 I used the micro precision 5.8 wideband driver and I loved it. Sold it awhile ago.

Technic likes to use this on his installs http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...Slick40v3.html

Yes, you will need a center channel trim.

Thanks! Is the center channel trim a spacer? Is it an OEM piece? Do I need it with the OEM speaker?

Spacer, the one Technic uses is OEM but don't know if it will our cars. You might want to ask him about it.
