Spent some quality time with flash yesterday installing the old Bazooka. This is the third life for the old girl and she sounds great. We hit a little snag due to my dyslexia, but after a quick trip to Bestbuys and some very determined wiring by flash all was good. Sounds fantastic. The ride home on the 5 was a concert (the ride up was road noise, which is OK too, but not as fun).



It was a pleasure wathing you work flash - you are a master. I only wish that I had 1/10th the knowledge and experience. Any time let me know and I'll try to return the favor.

Not a terribly original sub placement decision by the new owner, but it sounds great.



   



While we were there my son and I did a little touch up on the center caps.





   



And last but not least, seems that the Teutonic creative spirit was alive when they put the speakers in. Standard 6 speaker cab arrangement, but apparently something different in the back. Flash has the pic.

my pleasure - i had fun - glad it worked it out the way it did



i was very pleased with the sound of the stock speakers - it was fun actually getting a chance to tune them and get the sound out of them - i was very impressed by them actually - the key is a quality head unit with a good EQ - the reason people think their stock stuff sounds bad is NOT the speakers - it's the head unit - you jut can't get there with the stock deck - not enough power, and mere bass and treble controls will never get you there on any deck



after installing the deck, making a small mod to the rear speakers, and some quick tuning, this car sounded pretty good before we added the sub - after adding it, and adjusting the crossover to pull the low end from the stock speakers, it was great



we did find something very interesting though - this car was a 93 - while it was the stock 6 speaker setup, he did NOT have the expected 4x6 speakers - they were a single ROUND 4" with no tweeter - yes, they were original - here is a shot:

That is very interesting. Bob, did you say you got the part number off of them? And you thought they put out good sound as well?

i did not get the part number off of them - my bad - they were nokia, and i saw the part number, but just failed to write it down - i should have though - arrrgh



yes, they actually sounded good - i made a slight change to the setup, but i was impressed - what i was REALLY impressed with were the stock 5.25" drivers in the lower grill area in the doors - properly tuned and powered, these sound very good - they just sound like garbage though with the factory decks - the problem with the factory systems is NOT the speakers (although admittedly they do not produce a lot of low end, and you need a sub for that) - the problem is definitely the head unit - throw that thing in the garbage - it doesn't have enough clean power and it lacks the necessary tone controls

I'll grab the part number off and send it along. I did not button up the side panel after we wrestled the wires, so I can pull the speaker pretty quickly.
