AWeb80 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Long Story Short, I Think My Fosgate comps are getting tired. i'd like to switch to new speakers. well, if i go through all that trouble, i thought about upgrading to bigger speakers. i think luke has made adaptors, has anyone else? also, i'm thinking about some excelon's cause i like kenwood. what other brands would you recommend?

pwmin Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 don't know. i can tell you how to fit 5.25's where 4x6's used to go if you must go major brand, i would get bostons. for one, i wouldnt' trust kenwood speakes and for two, you already have boston subs. Quote
Garrett Powered Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 its not really going to be an upgrade if you already have subs. I would keep the 5s. just because its easier. I know you aint tryin to hear that though. boston, memphis, JL. or if you want the real, Morel. Quote
AWeb80 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 o yeah...Boston is a great choice..but component speakers might be a bit out of my price range I want comps....but, more than $200 is more than I want Quote
Spectrum Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Infinity speakers? I have Infinity Reference series, but the Kappa series may be the level you are looking for? Quote
xtremerevolution Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 I've heard some Kenwoods and Infinity speakers, and I honestly don't think they compare to the PolkAudio DB5250 front components that I'm using. All to his own, but I think Polk Audio makes some damn good car audio, and i can say that from experience since I also use their DB690's for my rears. Quote
AWeb80 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 I'm leaning heavily towards the Boston S50's..... The local audio shop that I get all my stuff from treats me really awesome....and they carry Boston... he said he'd do $170 for me....I think that is a great price for components... Quote

That first place I posted charges you for shipping. http://www.techronics.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_id=6293&aff=45847 Here they are for $118 SHIPPED! Cheers! Quote
pwmin Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 i just got S55's from ikesound for my jeep, well, they're supposed to arrive monday. i also just got a deck from sonicelectronics, whom i've bought from before and had decent customer service. i looked at the techtronics website and they would've charged shipping for my item, anyway, so it wouldve been about the same, but i guess they have free shipping over $100...good site. i'll have to use that one next.

Brian P Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 What'd I use.... Oh yeah: I attached them to the door panel, like so: Quote
AWeb80 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 haha i want the stock look Quote
Brian P Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 That's the Cutlass stock look but yours has those speaker covers/pods right? Quote
rockfangd Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 damn i want door speakers in my 94 cutlass period. Quote
AWeb80 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Posted January 29, 2008 If i do this, i'll sell the current 5.25 comps i got now. Quote
kuntzie Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 you can mold the 6.5 into the door panel in the stock location (for a gp of course) and get rid of the fasctory mounting plastic thing... this also allows you more debth for your speakers Quote
LukeZ34 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 Naw, I retrofitted the 4x6's to hold 5.25's. You can't fit 6.5's in the stock location w/out some sort of modification of the factory speaker pod. Attached is a picture of what I would like to do to mine someday (found the pic on an ebay auction a while back). But I'd like to find a way to keep them tucked behind the pod instead of on the front.. less obvious and more stock looking. Quote

blackbombshell95 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Heres what mine looks like outfitted with black suade and a satin black painted door panel. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 damn i want door speakers in my 94 cutlass period. It should be pre-wired. For some reason, while my Cutlass was NOT wired for HUD, it is wired for the 6 speaker system. Quote
GP1138 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Damn, that looks awesome, Corey. Quote
