  1. @pstone, thank you, im hoping this will be the last install in this car so im trying to make sure its perfect @cortez, that box sounds interesting, i may hit you up on that, as far as sub stage im not 100% sure what my substage will be just yet, been kickin around a few ideas with a good friend and am leaning toward a dc xl 10", or maybe a pair of lvl 3 10"s, hell i even like the aq subs too so who knows, the amp im really unsure of right now but it will be between 1500-2200w or somewhere there abouts. im getting the electricals all fixed up before i get the substage decided on and put in. i think it will be easier to decide what i want and need depending on where my final voltage ends up ect ect. i dont wanna out power my car and tear up a bunch of nice gear, as stated abocve im hoping this will be the last install in this car. as far as engines ill be keeping the staight six and will probly end up at a final rear wheel HP around 350-400 if im lucky. but this car is my daily and does 80mi a day and has been for years so again i dont want to out power the car. plus im old now and drive like a grandma everywhere i go anyway haha.
  2. nah man a company called retrospec fab those.they make all kinds of stuff like that for these cars. one of my limitations is glass and bondo. i can seem to get things smooth enough.
  3. haha no ls1 going in here, but i cant say i havent thought about something like that...and thank you, i want a clean build this time....
  4. now on to my install of my new amplifier. i decided to go with a rockford fosgate t4004(grey box) still with the kenwood deck and polk db coax speakers, no sub or sub amp just yet. after a ton of tinkering and failed experiments i was left with this wiring mess this of course this is unacceptable. so i ordered upgraded wires and off i went ran my new speaker wires and pulled out all the mess and got this power ground on the driver side rca's and remote wire on the passenger side, trying to follow factory wiring as best as possible after getting wires set where i want i was able to get some panels back in then the seats now on to my rear speaker pods... fresh paint pods w/speaks... all carpaets back in and amp in place... thats where im at now, while i concentrate on moving and deciding on what sub amp combo ill use and what alt to go with and weather or not to run a missing link or not....
  5. i have an 89 toyota supra turbo that i previously had a soundstrem 405s 5ch running on a kenwood excelon x994(i think) and pushing a set of polk db501s and a set of db651s and a sundown sa-8. for some reason or another i broke the sub then shortly behind it the amp went too. i started to wonder if i didnt have an electrical issue and so everything gets pulled out and we begin "round 2" i will be thinking harder and planning better along with making sure the car can handle the "2" amp set up ill be running this time. starting with my big 3
  6. brilliant.thanks. now i have something to do tomorrow. just gotta figure out how to move the speaker up. although i think they triangle is smaller than the speak...imma find out though.
  7. man i wish but i have to fit a grille over that and its exactly shaped to that spot and that is where it clips into. i would love too but how do you recomend doing it?
  8. ive actually upgraded to 6.5 in the door already but they sit funny and im thinking a well mounted 5ish might actaully provide better sound. here is what i mean.... the smaller speaker is boxed the lager is open in back proper speaker proper mount bigger speaker proper mounts for a 92 door not for 89 do you think a proper mounted five would be better?? glassing is a non option in this car as i cant figure out how to do it without it being awkward looking...ideas thoughts?
  9. i saw that. im thinking of going morel tempos in the fronts and using one of their subs too...ill do some research and get back to you ASAP.
  10. looking price wise i could probly do the morel tempo series for not a touch more than the polks. that will probly be the way to go also ive got 6.5 all around now but my fronts are tucked a way i dont care for too much. the factory speaks were in enclosures but only a 4". im thinking of maybe going to a 5-5.25" component in the front and modding the factory " box" do you think i would get better sound that way? can provide pics if needed. the factory fours just didnt offer enough sound.
  11. i guess the goal is a good daily car leaning more toward the sq. i cant do all the crazy full on sq aiming and stuff like that. lets say i got that amp would its best match be polk MM series or morel maximo?
  12. is this a good amp? is it more sp or spl or daily or what? any info would be awesome.. anyone ever use arc or know bout them? arc
  13. sytem rethink. be aware im pretty noob. here is the current build that will now be replaced. budget
