The speakers were straight drop-in swaps. Yes, crossovers are in the doors.

I'm not crazy with the sound, just yet. I'm having them remove the Hifonics amp to replace with an Eclipse (Fujitsu Ten) 5-channel. You can see specs (no picture) here: .http://www.eclipse-web.com/products/amp/36501.html

The MB Quart front speakers use titanium tweeters. They sound kinda hot. When they're done and I get the sound balanced, I think it'll rock.

MiniBil -
I had the QM-218's in my VW Jetta. With the hard leather seats, they were overly bright sounding. I had listened to them at a couple of competitions, not realizing that those cars had half-octave equalizers that compensated for them.

I eventually adjusted the crossover to reduce their output by something like -6db (it's just a jumper setting), and it was tolerable after that. But if you have the cloth seating in your MINI, I think you'll be OK.
