Stereo Makeover

[Razzman]

JM my batts are side by side pushed as far forward in the storage compartment as possible in order to maximize storage under the dash.

I gota a killer deal on the momo's @ $70 a pair almost six months ago from Crutchfield, couldn't pass it up!

Stay away from SonicElectronics...... I ordered 5 pairs of the Polk DB650's over a month ago. They are still on backorder and they keep trying to get me to go with a cheaper speaker just to make the sale.

Ordered an amp at the same time which they sent, charged me for shipping for the amp and the speakers. I still have not been able to get the shipping back on the speakers.

Looks like i will have to go to Crutchfield for the speakers if I can get my shipping back from sonic.....

Just my two cents.......

OK so after hours of exhaustive research and such i think i have desided to buy some

T series Fusion speakers.

I found them on Ebay but the link to them is long.

Power them with

Let me know what yall think of those speakers.

Also there is the

they have blue LEDs around them but you cant see them in the pics. These would require a bigger amp too i think.

Razz, did the battery move leave a void in the floor. MY obv has a rectangle cut out in the floor for the battery which makes it difficult to move. or leaves a hole which i don't like.

[Razzman]

JM the LSV's don't have the batt "box" in the floor like the OBV. I don't know why they did that, if it was mine i'd pull the carpet and either put a seaboard lid on it or just foam-n-resin it over. When space is at a premium why put the batt(s) right in the way?

Mmandley, the Fusions are prone to chrome peeling issues big time. There's been more than just a few posts about those on Wakeworld. If your going to spend that much then go with the Bullet Hollow Points. Second you don't want 5 1/4" speakers either.

[mmandley]

Well i wasn't looking to spend what you see on that website. I found them on Ebay for 160 a pair. The company went out of business and is liquidating there inventory.

They come in black also.

They also have for 350 those 3 ways that are linked.
This link is what looks to be there all aluminum cases. More then what i was looking to spend but i would spend the extra if its worth it.

Cant decide on Kicker Polk or Wetsounds speaker set up. Im looking at the Single Bullets.

mmandley Noooooooooooooooooooooo!
Stay away from Fusion.
I've had nothing but problems with mine. I know they sound ok but you will def kick youself later.
1. No warranty
2. Bad finish
3. Overpriced replacement speakers. (replacement tweeter $85).
4. Can not buy replacement speakers from Diamond. You have to go through a dealer. Dealers don't want to sell you a diamond replacement speaker unless you buy the overpriced set ($160 or more).
5. X-over eats tweeters for lunch
6. Clamps strip out.
7. Don't buy Fusion Stuff.
8. Run, run fast!
Stick with the Kicker. Just wait a couple months and save your money.
Did I mention, DONT BUY FUSION STUFF?

Very nice! Sweet

[mmandley]

OK so i finally decided to get this set up

Kicker 700.5 to run my 6 interior speakers and sub

Kicker 450.2 to run my tower speakers

KMT6 Tower speakers.

Those two amps will replace my factory amps Kicker 200.2 and Kicker 200.4 so im expecting a lot more sound very soon.

Thanks Newty and Razz for your advise and helping me out here.

Also got word today my Z5 rack has finally been made my Skiers Choice and is in the mail so looks like next week will be a busy for the UPS guy to my house.

Ill post new updated pics of Fierah when i get all that gear installed
