Improved Sound for 66 Conv Needed
I put a USA-1 and the custom kickpanels with reg speakers in my 66 convertible and the sound is awful, tinny, no bass, distortion. I don't want to spend a ton of dough, so am thinking of replacing the speakers, adding subwoofer in trunk and an amp. Any suggestions on (1) new speakers which will fit kickpanels, (2) subwoofer and (3) amp? Thanks.

yeah. get seperates for the front(e.g. tweeter and midrange are sperate) the rear get a bass cannon or a sealed box with a 10 or a 12. you are going to need amps.

ok, lets get this party started
ok, for lets address speakers. I would suggest a set of components(i.e., separate woofer and tweeter). How much are you looking to spent on speakers? I like the MB Quarts and Alpine Type R's. Your for sure gonna need a amp....I would run two(just get a distribution block). A 4 channel amp for the mids and highs and a mono channel amp for the sub/subs. Some good amp brands for the money are MTX, Lighting Audio, HiFonics, and JBL. For a sub amp I would suggest a JBL 300x1 for you combo, paired with a single 12" sub. For the sub, it's all a matter of how much money you want to spent. But for a good compromise between sound and price I would suggest the Kicker Comp VR, the JL Audio 12W3, or quite honestly, IMO, the best sub on the market today for the price(the subs I wish I would have go), the Adire Audio shiva. They're only $125 each from www.ampman.com. I know, I know you've never heard of them. Well TRUST ME, they ROCK!!! Just go to some places like www.sounddomain.com or www.elitecaraudio.com and ask about them in the forums. Check them out at www.adireaudio.com, they're ugly but they kick ***. The above listed items will give you a nice SQ.(sound quality) system. It all boils down to how much money you want to spend. If your interested I'm selling some of the items from my system. I'm selling my HiFonics amp. It's a Taurus 50x4. It has it's share of nicks and scratches, but it works well and has lots of features like high and low pass cross overs, that can be adjusted independly between channels 1/2 and 3/4, and a bass boost that's adjustable from 0dB to 12dB. I'll sell it for $50 plus shipping. I've got pics. I'm also selling a 12" Kicker Comp VR 12 that I bought new about 3 weeks ago, I haven't even opened it yet. It's dual 4ohm. I'll let it go for 140 shipped(i.e. I pay shipping for the sub). It's new in the box and unopened. If you want more info or have any more questions you can contact me at tireburner963@aol.com or IM me, my SN is tireburner963. Pretty much anybody on the board can vouch for me.
