Re: [DML] Re: Radio Upgrade

[Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Ryan's approach.  To support my high-end
Sony head deck I installed Don Steger's kick panel
speakers.  I also kept the dash speakers with a cross
over to "fill in the sound".

Six inch speakers are mounted in cut-outs in the rear
panel along with the amp.  (Mounting it here
eliminates much of the heat dissapation concern.)  

The only other thing I added was a "small" sub-woofer
which is placed in the cubby hole behind the drivers
seat - - NOT to have my insides vibrate and to
serenade the neighborhood, but to simply add a small
touch of clean crisp base.

All in all I am VERY staisfied with the setup although
I know purists will cringe.  But, since I do many many
long distance drives, I wanted to be sure I have good
sounds along the way.
