Wait a second - Smitty, what do you mean cruise season is coming? I've been driving my bird without heat all winter! At least once a week. :p Unfortunately, besides the trips to Walmart and Home Depot (all of 1 mile from my house), there aren't any good places to cruise around here. I do take the car to work (9 miles), and it's an enjoyable drive, for about half of the drive at least.
Need to find a nice route to drive around when I have some free time.
Now back onto the speakers. The original post was about front speakers btw.
I have the am/fm radio, and a set of enclosed plastic "boxes" with 3 speakers in each on the back shelf (behind the rear seat, yeah, no convertible here). The speakers are held in place by a rod/bolt that screws into the "box" and goes into the trunk and is secured by a wingnut. They are well blown however, and sound bad if you turn the radio up to hearing level with 1 window partially down.
Now I like audio, and while listening to the engine is great (I do need a new exhuast that sounds like there is something under the hood), I enjoy my tunes also. I do want to keep a stock look though, so I was thinking about putting a stereo head unit in my console (storage box area). I'm doubting it will fit, but if it does, I'm there! That way I could close the door, and hide the system, retaining a stock look (old radio would stay in the dash). I'd like to put some 8" speakers in the back deck, with a black material to cover the speakers up, and have them blend in better.
