5" (13cm) subwoofers

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a pair of 5" subwoofer to replace the ones that came with the UQ7 package. I know Focal made some, but they're hard to find now and crazy expensive. I only want a good sound, nothing loud that would break my ears. I'm not going to add a sub box or anything, if I can't find subs of that size, I won't get subs.
Any recommendations ?

Thanks

These get really nice reviews for the size. They are 5.25" though. If I was in your predicament, this is what I'd get.

I would look on ebay. Friend of mine bought a pair there for 40.00. They were used but work great. HTH.

a little bigger than 5", but not much. just gotta check if you've got the depth. If it were me, this is the route I'd go.
