Installed at Mediocre Customs, Cary IL. We fit them at our Cary shop with the right adapters or custom pods, then wire and tune them so the front stage sounds right from the driver's seat.
The ESB 5.028 is the 5000 Series 1.1" (28 mm) tweeter, with a low-mass carbon fiber dome in a fixed-radius hemispherical shape, driven by a neodymium magnet. The 5000 Series ("Elegance and Technology") was built for fast transient response and realistic impact. ESB's goal was to cut moving mass, making the moving parts of each speaker lighter and quicker.

Questions we get in the shop
Can I buy it online and have you install it?
Yes. Order here, pick in-store pickup, and we hold it for your install day. You can also buy it at the counter.
Will they fit my factory locations?
Most vehicles take these with an adapter. Bring it in and we'll check depth and tweeter spots.
Do I need an amp?
They'll run off a radio, but they sound their best with clean amp power. We'll set you up either way.
