reading all other threads.I have used JBL to keep the cost down &
to get a decent sound.I used a 10" sub woofer in a home made box
using MDF offcuts.The front face is 1" thick & recessed to mount the
Sub.This box is mounted on a plinth inserted into the rear armrest
bracket.

[/list]I used some carpet offcut I got for £5 ,enough to do the floor as well.
On the back of the box I attached the Amp I got off E-bay again ror £5.
To keep prying eyes away I used some acoustic cloth to cover the front .
The rear cover then hides the whole thing.
So its not a ported box and it is small so big bass is not on offer but for
an old un its enough to give my old rock cd`s some weight.
Next I bought two sets of component speakers for front & rear.
My wife thinks i have gone barmy but it gets addictive .She thinks I am
going to hang out with the boy racers down at Tescos but as I pointed out -boy racers not bald fat ones.
The first thing was to remove the original tweaters .Took a bit of cutting out but eventually it went in and what a differance
it made so crisp & clear.The original cover fits over no problem
The wooferrs went straighr in.
Next the rears.The woofers were a tad too deep to fit into the pod
so a small amount of cutting had to be carried out.The tweaters of
coarse needed holes in the speaker card and panel.A bit messy this but
once started...Again the original covers fit straight on
The sound is really good far better than the original sound of the old set up.Also I still have room in my boot.
So I hope this is of intrest sorry if its a bit long but this is my first go
Do you think I should amp the speakers ?
Thanks for looking
ps Enjoyed the Lincoln meet ,met some fine people .I will camp longer next time .
