Center Channel Speaker
Does anyone here have a center channel speaker installed in their FB?
I have a Sony CDX-C910 (The best head unit ever produced pure copper chassis and no internal amps) and a pocket under it and I was thinking about putting a 1 Din alpine center channel speaker under it.
I am running 3 Sony ES 5026 (real gold ES not the red explode **** they sell now) amps with MTX 6.5 componants in the rear with crossovers and 1" tweeters, alpine 5.25 in the kick panels and polk 1" tweeters on the doors, and I am putting a 10 inch polk momo in the storage bin. All said and done the system will only produce 300 watts, BUT! it is 300 watts of real power with no distortion.
I think the center channel will fill in some vocals that I am missing from the kick panels....
Anyone?????

I would vote for probably not. If you are going to have the tweeters on the doors anyway they will get the sound straight to you without having to worry about obstructions or them not being aimed in the right direction. I had a pair of Polk 4" co-axials in my kick panels and they didn't even have the aimable tweeters, but those things would rock your socks off. I think since the car is so small that you shouldn't really have to worry about it. And unless the center channel has in input for both the right and left signal you will only be getting mono left or right sound from it anyway.

I had a MB quart 4" as a center channel prior to changing my dash to a 2nd gen dash. it really helps to raise the soundstage, and your imaging will clean up slightly also. it appears that the center transmission hump, coupled with the proximaty of your feat tends to block some of the mids coming from kickpanels in the seven.
Oh, and hands down the Macintosh series of decks are much better than the sony, though its ok.

if you want pics of the center channel, its too late.. as i threw the dash away when I started to change out the new dash.
If you want pics of the FC dash in an SA/FB the car itself is under restoration (hence the dash change) and the photos are available in this thread.

I am TAD to Seattle right now for a confrerance (blech) .kenn

Do some research........
Sony Es cdx-c910 or C-90 are the two best decks....... Hands down.

J for a person who has been an audiophile for years, I agrre that test numbers do not lie...but My ears are the ones I have to please, and for my money, that means either an older denon, with the d/a convertors replaced, or one of the slightly newer Mac decks...
So I guess we will have to agree to the fact, that we will probablynever agree on this subject.
