well this is my audio( cleaned up) system

it consist of a clarion head unit( usb and aux), a kicker kx700.5 to power 4 speaker as well as one sub. i removed my dash speakers, and installed door speakers( on manual doors) they are powerbass 5.25 components, for the sail panel i installed infinity refrence 6x9, and my brother built me a custom box for the well( i wanted it as low as possible because im puttin a roll up cargo cover) the sub we used is a mtx tr55

Re: well this is my audio( cleaned up) system

i have my tweeters and 6.5"door woofers in the exact
same positions-sounds way better than the stock
dashtop position;highs are cleaner,less harsh,better
imaging Back in 1993,when i put in the speakers, it
was hard to find large tweeters that would fit that area,
found some morel(mdt 54 as i recall)that fit and looked
great-made in england,they were expensive but sound
great!!-and still going strong today
these days probably easier to find some that fit

every thing sounds great, its night and day diffrence between the dash speakers, since they are amp, the sub woofer doesnt drown out the highs, i think its a good balance

Re: well this is my audio( cleaned up) system

the 6.5s i used were made by eminence(old skool u.s.
made speakers) they have a large but flat magnet and
really rock with stout,clean bass for 6.5s. they were also
installed in 1993,were bought from "parts express" as
were the morel tweeters(mdt 39s BTW,not 54s as i said
by mistake above) the eminences have also aged very
well-had to repair the surround of one this year, the
other is still going strong
BTW my whole system is "old skool"-mostly '80s,much
of it early '80s-period correct for my '82
