Brad,
Wow, that system sounds great!! As you know, I put CDT's in my Evo. While they won't win any SPL awards, they are excellent SQ speakers. I found it took about 10 days for the tweeters to break in and smooth out. At first, they were a bit sharp, but now I can listen as loud as I can stand with no fatigue. The tweets on the CDTs are very smooth.
The mids are very good but could have better definition. Still highly acceptable. Eventually, I might go with the top of line CDT eurosports, but for now I am excessively satisfied.

With the Braxials, you should be able to install the speaks in the factory locations behind the factory door grills. They are deep, so you might have to jig a spacer out of MDF (depending on your door depth). That should keep your install pretty stealthy. But if you have all this neato stuff in your garage unused, it's just like it's already stolen anyway, so you might as well get some good use.
That McIntosh amp should be sweet! Must have a reveiw when everything is installed and broken in!
