View Full Version : Custom 2 way speaker install, pics
dodo_croatia 07-06-2004, 08:47 PM If someone wuz intersted of making a custom install, this wuz the way i did it.
I used a DSL 2-way system (tweeters and mid-bass speakers) with crossovers.
It SOUNDS BEUTIFULL !
1. First take this out of your car :) and cut the plastic box out

Omicron 07-06-2004, 09:13 PM That's pretty slick, dodo_croatia. Well done! :D
I'd like to move this to the DIY (Do It Yourself) forum, but doing so will break all your picture links, so I'll have to tackle it when I have more time.
liqiud 07-06-2004, 10:29 PM Damn...between this thread, and the other thread about putting the speakers there, i am doing it...probably next weekend...
Omicron 07-06-2004, 10:45 PM Yeah, me too. Funny thing is, using wood never occured to me. D'oh!
cockerchumps 07-07-2004, 07:19 AM How would you wire the speakers in the custom set-up? Could you just power them from the existing amp under the rear deck? Sorry if this question is a bit lame.

dodo_croatia 07-07-2004, 07:29 AM I think that bose amp is not enough powerfull to handle the custom system, but it is possible. I have conected them to bose amp to see if they even work before putting my amp, sound wuz not good.

I will build a new box to fix this problem.
Just switch - with + on the crossover and it sound the same.
