I used these to replace my pair of perfectly functioning OEM DVC subs.
They DID require some Dremel work to fit the baskets. I have photos somewhere that I can provide to show you what has to be cut away. It is NOT obvious when you start.

For a given volume input, they are quite a bit louder than the OEM subs.
The bass is nice and tight, unlike the OEM subs.

What has to be cut away is clearance for the permanent magnets. The OEM subs' magnets are ~ 1/2 the size and 1/3 the weight of these. It shows up in the efficiency.

In my roadster, I can actually annoy other drivers at stoplights. Couldn't do that before! Not real bad, but it is much louder than before.

If you want the photos, I'll post them up to my album. Let me know via Personal Message?
