Re: Aftermarket Stereo HU & Front Speaker Recommendation.

It doesn't have to point a certain way.
I just get OCD and have it straight.

I think I said before, these polks are not the best when it comes to bass, but the mids/highs are beautiful.

There are probably smaller brackets out there, but I have no idea how they fit, removing the plastic from the interior of the panel is no big deal.

As for the connectors, I wouldn't worry too much about them.
I just ghetto rigged mine lol.

Looks good!! I think the Polk will be my choice when I upgrade. The Infinity's are a little pricey.

Small sub in the trunk will help with that bass issue

Re: Aftermarket Stereo HU & Front Speaker Recommendation.

Looks good. I use my rears for most of my bass anyway. I'll bet the install was easier that you had thought?


Edit:Are you going to do the rears next now? I recommend it... just search Ghosty's (i think) rear speaker diy and it's an easy step by step if you take your time.

Re: Aftermarket Stereo HU & Front Speaker Recommendation.

Well, you know how it feels when you have to hack off stuff from your car. Its a used car i got couple of months ago, so i didnt really bother much. But thanks for your help in pm's. I was also bit OCD about the lettering, but then i had to clip off the horizontal tabs. Those two aligned perfect with the bottom holes as a resting point.

Same here. I think i will just keep the OEM rears for fill. Ya man, you were so right ... I did the first door, being very cautious in a little over an hour, then the passenger side door end to end under 30 mins. I couldnt believe it was so simple

Initially I was thinking about it, but i think i am happy with how the front sounds. Fader is at +3 with Audio at +3dB. The rear is acting as a fill and i am happy with the overall money i spent, exact 200$ for speakers & HU :thumbup

Re: Aftermarket Stereo HU & Front Speaker Recommendation.

If you're not going to do it now, rears should def go on your list of stuff to do in the future
