Long story short, I've always loved having a killer stereo in my cars. I spend alot of time driving and value a quality sounded stereo. I will never claim to be an expert by any means though, not even close.
Since I've had my E30 I've struggle to get a decent sounding stereo out of it and gave up, taking out everything but the rear cheap polk speaks and the headunit. After building a nice sounding stereo and setup in my old E34 and working on one in my new CRV daily driver. I've been wanting to do something with the E30 again.
I've had these Polk/Momo MM6 components forever but they've been sitting around collecting dust since they didn't drop into any of the E30's, or E34 locations. These things sounded INCREDIBLE in my old Focus and were like $450 so I never got rid of them.
So I'm thinking I'll cut some MDF rings and cut the kick panels out so they'll fit up front, run the tweeters to the stock location and amp these.
My dilema comes in the form of wanting some deeper bass, but not wanting to use a large box in the rear. I know the Lukebox sounds fantastic but I just don't want to put a box back there again, trying to keep as much unnecessary weight out as I can.
So I was thinking, why not run 6.5 sub woofers in the rear shelf?
Something like these Earthquake shallow mount ones?
Or should I use my other Polk/momo 2 ways I have, amp all of them and enjoy the sound quality minus bass?
All of this is run from a mid range sony headunit and an Alpine V-power 4 channel amp.
