Show me what you all have done? Theres not alot of space in to work with, how creative have you all gotten?

Also assuming I just wanted to replace the factory speakers with the best sounding aftermarket. (same size) What size would I be looking at?

 

4" up front in the kickpannels, 6.5" in the rear

the stock locations are terrible for imaging, if you want it to sound good change the locations.

 

lol i would take pics of my but i dont have interior or a radio but i am a car audio/video installer so i can help ya out a lil bit im sure i beleave the stock speakers are 4in up front and 5 1/4 in the rear im not 100% i would have to go look but im pretty sure thats what they are....also you can put a sub in a fiber glass box where the spare tire is/was i could build this box for you if you woudl want it you could put amps in the storge bins...custom mount speaks in the door or have kick pods for the floor ummm......if you let me know what kinda of system you might be wanting i could come up with somethign nice for you also a very very good speak eclipse its not the best but they wont ask for you kids or you arm and its got a 3 yr warenty if they are installed buy a place that sells them the yare very good tho $100 a set they are what i sell every1 and would put them in my car if i wanted a system.....but like i said let me know what you are wanting and i will help you out as much as i can

Thats my sub and amp enclosure. Note it used to have back seats (no midget mates). Also have 6x9's in boxes at the back below where the hatch glass comes down (where the jack was)

also have some 4' by my feet and the passengers feet.

All kenwood, including mp3 deck, all good

GAWD Rx-7 are sports cars and not ment to be weighed down bay BASS! get a caddy if you want the boom...

 

lol caddys are not good for bass the rear 1/4 rattel way to much the trunks start to leak and they just dont let bass get inside the car very well

 

Not looking to to bounce quarters off the hatch. Thats why I want to know the best quality speakers at a reasonable price to put in the stock locations. Ill probably add an 8" sub enclosure somewhere. The 1st gens actually benefit from alittle more weight in the back. They are nose heavy. I'm relocating my battery to the back as well. With a sub box, amps, and larger bat in the rear it will help with handeling.

 

And just for future refrence the front speaker holes are 4" and rear are 6.5". Speakers in the rear are 5 1/4 though.

 

Here is where I placed my sub and 6x9's in the car when it still had the stereo in it. When the car is done, there will be no stereo. The front speakers are just 5.25" rounds in the stock location. Here is a pic of the sub and 6x9's.

I just wanted to have some jams to play when I was blowin by ricers on the road.

So Nothing fancy dancy, just a Sony CDX-M7815X for the unit. Infinty Reference 4012i's in front and back, with and adjustable tweeter so I can point the sound the way I want it to go!

 

carefull with the rears, some 6.5"s dont fit. I got some Rockfords all around, and had to enlarge the holes in the rear by just under an inch. I would stick with 5 1/4s in the rear, just to be safe.

 

Is the wiring too difficult for a beginner?

 

the rears AREN'T 5.25, they are 6" but most 6.5" will fit

I have 5.25" and I had to use plates to install them in the rear

 

here' my cheapo $30 blaupunkets. They're pretty good, just for listening to music, not blowing your car apart with bass. I don't have anything in the back, and stock headunit. It's good enough for now until my car's a little faster

 

MattG where'd you get that little change holder box thingy under your ciggarette lighter? I've been looking everyone for somthing to fill mine.

I attached a couple of pics of mine. Pioneer head unit. Two 8in pioneer subs in a custom box molded to fit the back of the hatch, just short enough to clear everything. I had some left over carpet so I decided to cut out a nice square and keep it as a cover for the entire encouslure when I'm parked in a public area so the car apears to look stock.

 

It depends. I ran all new wire to my speakers. I hid it all under the carpets and ran it to the back. It looks good and was alot better then that small wire they had running to the stock speakers. I had a harness kit and used two pieces out of it, but I felt that it was worth it to get one. It would be that hard, just look on the forum and read the instructions!




I got it off ebay! It got it form a seller "therx7addict" I think I paid like 20 bucks for the thing. But it was worth it. It fits in real good, but doesnt like to stay in. I put some glue behind it to make it stay, havent had a problem since!

Here's a link to his ebay store. i dont know if he has any in stock, but I bet he could track on down.

anyone here replaced the head unit while keeping the Graphic EQ and the joystick fader?

and is there anyone interested? i did this a while back and it sounds quite nice, and the EQ is much more versitile than the retarded presets most popular decks come with nowadays

 

This looks nice. It's way to large for my plans but still looks good.

Do the speakers interfer with your access to the hood release?
thanks

 

Custom wiring MUST be run for the speakers as there aren't any wires from the radio area for the speakers. I wouldn't call this an easy install for anyone that hasn't done it before.
