how much cash are we talking? and think of others beside the bazooka tube. one idea is an alpine type r. nice price of 100 bucks and performs extremely well.

x out the rear speaks and get some good component speakers up front. also if you got 1 k to spend dont get a bazooka. get a nice alpine or audiobahn sub

personally if i would do my system again i would go with two type r 12" with a jbl 1200.1 and then a set of component speakers and an alpine unit but i cant think of the model it was.

type r

jbl 1200.1

infinity component

head unit alpine

head unit pioneer...i like this model

there weren't any original speaker spots in the door panels. on our cars they were in the sail panels where the seat belt is and in the dash. kick panels are great. i would get some.
