Silver Member Username: Robert_dMIA, FL USA Post Number: 115 Registered: Sep-05 | yea she had it for since she bought it, it was the big hit for women in the mid and late 80's oh and lol my mom hates that heavy bass but my friends mom jams to marvin g@y and stuff in his expedition whenever she needs to use it .... 6x9 would be a good idea ... how do they sound in those boxes ... is there something like bass blockers but for mid and highs |

Post Number: 729 Registered: Jul-05 | Lots of ppl on this forum don't like 6x9s - but hey i did a simple system upgrade for my sis's husband recently (he's in his 40s) & he too did not want a 'banging' bunch of bass either . So i installed a new Hu that has outputs for FR/Rear speaker L/R ,re-use the doors stock speakers but added a small pair of tweeters & a pair of 6x9s in the rear & i must say i knew it would be good but man it sounded so clean & with just enough bass & loud to appreciate it . He has a station wagon so i built normal rectangular boxes from a generic measurements of boxes i've seen selling on the net . Think it was 12x9x8 & we had some leftover 5/8 plywood left over from a home project that we used to build them . Cheapest simple set-up i done but was well worth it .... |

My mom knows first hand that I've installed head units in a dozen cars, but when her factory HU's display dies, rather than let me replace it for free with an old pioneer I have laying around, she ops to send it back to the dealership and pay $600 for a replacement. I think part of it is that she wished I had other interests and that her letting me fix her car would be proving that my hobby actually has value, but we'll leave that one up to the psychologists. |
