the difference in accuracy is minimal if detectable at all depending on the quality of the soft domes really.
If they're really good, you won't know it, and they'll be very transparent and smooth.
My DynAudio System360 system uses soft domes if I recall, and I'm quite fond of them, but that component set lists for about $1200

The CDT CL61's are listed in the paperwork that comes with them as a 2 1/2"(7cm) mounting depth. The 5 1/4" are listed at 2 1/4"(6cm). The 4" have a 2"(5cm) depth.

They are great speakers but do require a fair amount of power and some time imaging to really enjoy them fully. I got mine from The Zeb and there is nothing wrong with them. Like already stated, you can't even see them in most mountings. A simple 3/4 MDF baffle should make them fit in most cars.

Does anyone have an accurate mount depth for these?

btw i would check out djdilliodon (he is an authorized CDT dealer) you can aim him at djdilliodon or check him out on caraudio.com or cardomain.com

he has great deals on CDT speakers and other brands.

btw i have some cl61s and i had to make baffles for them. I also have the EF series and they are about the same depth. pretty deep.

The speakers used are the Classic Line mid bass's.

The color is the only reason (not important if you cant see it!).

For $150 probably the best bang for the buck. Also the Resonant Engineering RE series are to be good also.

Darn. I think the most my Camry can handle is 2.5 inches :(

There is nothing else that's wrong with it. You know how companies b!tch about cosmetics....

the mounting depth is like 3inches. maybe more? i forget. its alot though.

Now that I blew one speaker, I am considering getting these, but I noticed the following on the page:
These speakers are identical to the CL-61 except for the slightly off shade red basket color. CDT Audio is so particular that it rejected these for normal release and we were able to buy a truckload of them to bring to you at an amazing price.
So they were rejected and are at half price because the color was off, or are there some other kind of problem with these?

Also, what's the mounting depth? I've checked CDTs site, and I couldn't find it anywhere.

hard dome tweets are more accurate, soft domes are easier on the ears. Anyard dome can be tweaked to ease the harshness with proper imaging and an EQ. I would poicl up a set of Q-Logic Q-forms and run a 6.5 in your door, and a 5.25 or 4" and tweet in the kick. will sound AMAZING.
