and k&n intake and no fuel system YET

Sounds like extra weight to me, I prefer a decent head unit and a couple of replacement size speakers for a decent sound. You can't replicate good acoustics/soundstage in a car, lots of background noise; so why go to all the expense and weight of a mega-system? All it does is attract unwanted attention from the police and theives.

i know what you mean about theives, have 2 dei 15s built in box phionex gold wiring(1) 2 channel 800watts on the 15s (1) 4 channel 1000 watts to drive 6 61/2 6 highs 2 dei 10s alpine head unit alpine 6 disk cd player. some guy!@#$ broke in my car, like the alarm would not go off or something. didnt get anything but jail time. needless to say i removed everything and sold it!!at least the 15s and one amp and the disk changer.

First suggestion...

I know it's VERY hard to do, but save the money for some QUALITY components.&nbsp Ignore anything that says PYRAMID on it.&nbsp Avoid any amp that claims over 500 watts unless it's over 24" long.&nbsp Buy quality equipment, even though it means going with lesser power.

Even before that, get an alarm installed.

My equipment is old but decent. ADS PS-5, ADS plates
ADS 7" subs, Soundstream D-200, ADS Epicenter, 4 xs cross-over. I haven't decided on a head unit or if its even going in the RX7

1999 RF amps (800a2/800a4)
1999 JL Audio 10W3 subs

1999 MB Quart PKC-116 coaxials in (rear shock towers)

Wow, old-school!&nbsp Ton of money too!

Audio Control 4XS, right?

Your right, my bad. I have other **** around too. couple of ADS power plates P-40 and P-120?

I just sold my Soundstream TC-308 Cassette Deck.

I used to run a Parasound receiver for home, Kyocera CD changer and a Stax PRO-Lambda headphones, hardwired with LSI interconnects.
Hardcore stuff, my hearing is so shot from Submarine Service that I can't hear the difference of the equipment these days

Damn Swede

I've got pretty much the largest speakers in each hole that this car could take. If you want some nice and hidden bass, just fiberglass over the large hole in each rear tower and putty up the small holes and throw in some 8's. You can hide the amp in the spare tire well and people will have no clue where that beautiful sound is coming from. Just be prepared to get slightly messy and possibly have to cut metal to be able to increase the volume from the .2 cubic feet available.

I'm putting my tweeters into those triangle windshield vent thingies since they blow the equivilant of mouse sneezing anyway. The sound reflects off the windshield to the passengers and gives it a nice soundstage.

Also, if you add anything larger than an 8" in a box, be sure to aim it towards the back for the maximum db's.

Yeeeeahhhhh!!!!-)

Welllll, at the moment kappa set ups and a pioneer head unit. Now I WILL be(am now) making a fiberglass sub inclosure to fit a 10" JL audio 10W3d-2well behind the drivers seat of the convertable. MAN am I excited.BOOM. W/It the JL Audio component set & amps. JL all the way baby. Hopefully if all goes well and on budget I'll be entering some sound comp. Should be fun...

I currently have 1 12" sub in a bandpass box installed in the car... At the end of september when I have two weeks vacation, it's getting switched to 4 10" Volfenhag aluminum cone subs and two tsunami mono-blocks. It should be kinda loud.

In my 88 vert I have

Alpine 7894 Head unit
Infinity Reference 605cs 6.5” component speakers
Alpine Type R 10” sub in custom box
Kicker 300.4 Amplifier

I must say it sounds pretty good even with the top down and when I crank it there sounds like there is a concert going on in my car.
