is this the tube? how does it sound? better worse? if it's in the rear did you install a Low Pass Filter to filter out all the mids and highs. I'm assuming that you bypassed the stock amp (where the LPF is at) on the tube right?

This isn't in the tube. That pic is one of the door speakers. Looks like a really nice job RexTech. How do they sound?

Ok, bros. It was a door speaker. I pull out all the amps, door and center amp. I used the wires already installed in the car. It sounds very very good.
The kenwood kit installed comes with two tweeters, two speakers and 2 passive crossovers where you can choose frequencyes for the speakers and tweeters. The crossovers where installed into the glove box, and the tweeters at each side of the center pane-driver side & passenger side-.

I pull out the speakers and amp of the Bose acoustic wave and put only one 6.5'' mid bass with an crossover.

I changed the bose cd player and radio-cassette and put a kenwood mp3 with 4 47 W outputs. I only used 3 outputs.

This configuration sounds great not hard, I like a very good sound where you can appreciate the mid , high and low sounds. I don´t like to hear music at loud volume.

Thanx for your comments,

Do you have any pics of the tweeter install? I'm trying to figure out exactly where you put them.

Thanks
Jeff

I used the stock speaker box, just added the speaker ring on the bottom of the speaker, to get a little space,then I sealed the ring with hot glue.
