I also have two alpine 8" woofers to go in the custom rear dual trunk enclosures and a JL 500/5 amp. I have my old infinity 6022i from two-ways for the doors and some ban-tan(?) 1-1/2 or 2" tweeters for the front uppers. I'll disconnect the rear stock ones and take them out.
So it won't get done by Carlisle but hopefully by Importfest in late Aug.
I'll have some help from my friend who does custom installs (he's a former IASCA judge and competitor).
If you find replacement door speakers you like but they don't fit 100% diameter-wise, tell me and we can print up some adapter rings in ABS plastic like the plugs.
I'll try to document my build but there is good info in this forum you should review first IMO.
I'm down for this Friday meet!!! Withdrawals.... |
Excellent! thanks Ken.
I did not buy the vehicle for audio, I knew well in advanced the things that would not be as well developed.
Though I daily drive my FR-S and have a decent commute to work, I like my music loud, and i find the stock system is not doing as well as I would like.
I knew it was not the best from the start, and have done a few audio installs over the years. Would just be nice to find some replacements, add an amp.. I am not sure about sub woofers at this time, depending on the out put of a decent set of speakers with an amp,
I am not big on bass music as I used to be, occasionally sure, I am more of a blues, classic rock, folk and country guy. I love metal music, punk etc as well.. I love when I have an audio system and you can really feel the bass drum kick and it sounds great, i find the stock system lacks in many different areas, but thats just me. again I know that was not what the vehicle was built for, but we all have our own different wants and needs.
