Rear Speaker options for 90 LX Notch???

Chevyguy · 11-01-2001, 02:01 PM

I just got a nice Kenwood head unit for my 90 LX Kx 516 something with the flip face etc. Sounds the balls, but I'm gonna have to start upgrading the rest of the system.

My notch came with the premium sound package 6 speakers and amp. The radio made no sound when I got the car. To make a long story short the premium amp was dead and I had to bypass it to even wire up a new head unit. Are there any wire harness adapters to bypass the factory amp cleanly, I managed to do it myself but the bypass I made out of the amp imputs is ugly.

Next question, I want to upgrade all the speakers, the fronts are no brainers, but the 5x7 rears are crappy. All the aftermarket ones I have found arn't too impressive. What have some of you done in the rear of the Fox body Notch backs??

I'm installing a small Sony amp for the rears but I am using a 200 amp install kit so I can upgrade to some real power. But .. I need real speakers back there first!!!!!!!

Anyone help me
