If modifying speakers is your thing enjoy yourself! Starting with a speaker that you like and sounds good would seem to be a prudent place to start. While it's possible to make something bad sound tolerable, going from good to even better makes more sense.

I must admit my feelings about CV's mirror hifitommy's. The new XL series has a different sound than traditional CV's. It's possible I may like them. I've heard good things about them. However, they sound nothing like "vintage" CV's and old "die-hards" will probably not like them..
By "old die hards" do you mean the type who will give up their CV P.O.S speakers on
the same day they give up the old doublewide?
When tornadoes wipe out trailer parks, they don't hate trailers, they hate CERWINS.
I hate to dis someones cheap system, having been there (some might say I am there now)
but shouldn't there be some minimum standard? I MEAN, CERWIN VEGAS???
Just get some car stereo speakers from Walfart, for gods sake!
