Default Replaced door speakers with some JBL 5.25s, removed rear deck speakers, and

added 2 8" woofers in the back with an amp.

Stereo is starting to kick.

Question: what should I do with the rear door speakers? replace them or just unplug them? I don't like "rear fill", so if I replace them, I'd likely poke around in there and try to mount something bigger.

secondly, I have my extra OEM 4" midranges sitting around now in case anyone needs one.

Default It's all a pretty basic DIY. Amp rack mounted to rear deck is the only special

item, and that took me 2 days to get right. It was hard for me to find a great way to run the wires, so I just ran them up through the holes in the deck lid when I had the rear deck removed.

Everything is out of the way, but I'm not going to win any cosmetic awards.

the 2 woofers are in a 6th order band pass box I've had for a while. It sits under the amp rack perfectly, and fires to the rear.

Default Yes. I have the 4" midrange that is from the front door, down near your feet/legs.

The only thing is, I didn't mark which one was right and which one is left.

I'll check later tonight to see if I can discern a difference, since I believe the left one has a dual voice coil.

Make me a fair offer and pay for shipping and I can mail it Tuesday.

I have a paypal account, but have never used it to receive $.

Default Well, that makes things easy. I'll get that email later today, since it is a home addy

and I don't have access to it from my office.
