Car: See pic above Engine: Too Small Transmission: Broken | not unless you use it to power your subs. It's a mono amp so it wouldn't produce seperate left and right channels needed for the 6 x 9s. | |

im bored so i thought i might was well tell u what i paid for it all, the deck and the 2 front speakers were 60$ (front spaekers are pyramid's and are 4" diameter), the sub came with the cheap amp and box for 160$ and the 2 6x9's with the boxes was 100$, so it was a fairly cheap and good system. | |

Car: 1989 RS Camaro Engine: LT1 Transmission: T56 | You shouldn't have to use a amp to power your 6x9s anyways, unless u have a really ****ty deck. If you've got aftermarket speakers in front and back it should sound fine. Only use the amp if ur going to hook up some subs. Put the 6x9s in the sail panels, right now they look like wannabe subs. Also u should make a new box for your sub, the box sucks if its made of plywood, use something good like MDF.

Car: See pic above Engine: Too Small Transmission: Broken | MDF is the material of choice for most people. You can also use birch, altho that is quite a bit more expensive than MDF. If you're trying to do things as cheaply as humanly possible, some people have had moderate success with 3/4" particle board. What's nice about MDF is that it is really smooth and bonds well with body filler. So it's the best route if you're planning on doing any fiberglass work or if you want to get the surface of your enclosure super smooth. I like it for that reason in particular because I tend to use thinner fabrics as opposed to the standard box carpet. | |

Someone else had asked how much it was and I tried to figure it out, cause I didn't really keep track of how much I spent. There's probably not more than $60 worth of materials there. There was one seam tho for the section with the 6x9s that I forgot to caulk and when I fired the stereo up it blew all the filler out of the seam. 
I'm from California, I live just south of Sacramento, the greatest city in the world.   | | | | | |
