I got my new Vidsonix 3.5 speakers.
As they were in the mail, I started on the back pad and speaker bosses. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I got the drivers side speakers mounted. I am thinking of covering the back pad shell with Perlon felt. It will look a lot better at that point.
As the 3.5" speakers were in the mail, I also put together an 8" Sub woofer for the passenger foot rest. I had some old amps laying around so I used the 110 W for the Sub and a 50 W RMS X2 Alpine to power a set of 6.5" Alpine S component speakers up front. The tweeters are in the "A" pillars. That alone was a huge improvement. Originally, I was only powering the component speakers with the 22 W RMS head unit. Now the rear speakers will be powered with only the 22 w from the head unit. That is more than enough. I cheated and hooked up the drivers side rear speakers and had a listen. Wow, I didn't think a 914 could sound so good. Attached thumbnail(s) |
