Door Speakers

[Noobz347]

To each his own, but I would like to throw in an opinion on the above. In my experience, rear speakers are a waste, in general, but most especially if you are building the sound for yourself. They usually do nothing more than muddy and confuse the sound stage.

Also, I NEVER recommend installing resistors with speakers. Not only do you have to install one with the proper power rating (depending on how much power, these resistors can be very large in physical size) but you are also wasting power that you have already paid money for. Just doesn't make sense, in my honest opinion.

Again, certainly don't mean to be argumentative, and of course anyone is free to do whatever they choose. I just wanted to throw my two cents out there, in case it may assist anyone.

By the way, the Mustang above sounds awesome!! Very nice!

Yeah... Don't know who's it is but ran across that clip and figured it applied to a thread about putting money into sound, on a Mustang.

Honestly, I gave up carving about car audio when I was in my early 20's. I've recently ebay d my stereo stuff. I spent a little chunk of change installing an OEM 1993 cd played and amp...and it never gets turned on.

The stereos in modern cars are good enough for me these days.

Very nice man!! Wow, I used to own a XEC 1000. Sure does bring back some memories.

I've only had the Art series for a couple of weeks at a time. But, they are very nice!!! Its so sad to me to see how companies like Hifonics, Rockford, PPI, US Amps, Quart, ect. sold out. Oh well, life goes on. Since you seem to be an old school equipment guy, if you don't already know it, Linear Power is producing amps again. They are making them here in the US and BETTER than before if you can believe that. I've heard them several times, its hard to describe in words how good they sound. They are going in my stang, just as soon as I get one!!!
