Thanks man!

 

Great work RonD-NM!!!
Because we all know.......NO HIGHS NO LOWS IT MUST BE BOSE

 

Very nice set of instructions, Ron. But now that you've gone to all this work, have you come up with any recommendations for actual replacement speakers? The NX-30 sounds to be the best bet so far... but at $120 for the pair, they're kinda pricey. Any budget alternatives you've found?

 

Doug, check your PMs.

Omicron,

First of all I can’t take credit for putting this together but I did find the link and wanted to share with the forum. I agree the NX-30’s look good, I was also looking at the Kicker Resolution R22 1" dome tweeter ~ $150.00. I haven’t made the commitment to buy or cut into the tweeter housing yet but will have to do something soon. I am also looking for something to take-up the space left over from the current 2” dome like a clear plastic ring so I can add a red LED in back to accent the tweeter. I know of a plastics place that might be able to fabricate something for me. Do you have any mounting ideas?
-Ron

 

BTW: The cutout for the Kicker R-R22 is 2 3/4". I think the NX30 is 5.25"

did you guys settle/find any replacement tweeters? i am glad you posted the link RonD-NM, thank you

it's just not crisp enough! i want to get it replaced asap!

 

I put in a set of Cerwin Vegas on custom inline crossovers. Drilled the holes with a circular holesaw and epoxyed them from behind. They sound awesome.

 

do you recommend anything simple, best bang for the buck?

 

Do you have the basic or the Bose system?

 

The basic I have redone the entire system and it sounds awesome The two Jls in the trunk don't hurt none either except for the cost. lol.
