Bought a POS, this is R3Vs fault

How about some details on the speaker upgrade?

I put some CHEAP RockfordFosgate speakers in my standard sound car years ago when I wasn't sure how long I'd have. It's not great and I'd love to have something clearer an louder.

They are a set of HERTZ DSK 130 that I found on ebay for $100. I have some Boston Acoustics 5.25" that I put up front. I also have the Premium tweeters in the mirror panel, but those aren't hooked up. I might be able to do something about that someday, but for now the goal is to get these rears wired up and working so I can have E30Bastard 's approval... and maybe he will update his own thread now that his car is out of Paint Jail after ~2 years...

I like what you did with the speaker covers. I have some larger speakers in the rear, although I really want to retain the premium sound speaker covers, yet they don't fit anymore.

Enjoy the drive up north, If you manager to hit the farmland/Sacramento area near sunset it is very pretty.

Ok, back home... but car isn't so I'm going to keep the details on the dyno hostage until I can also include a 'driving review' likely to be later in the week, than earlier. Driving up from Los Angeles to NorCal on Friday so I can also add (later) how it does on the freeway.

To distract you from that for just a moment I have been slowly trying to upgrade the factory speakers knowing that the extent of this stereo system will be the Blaupunkt Headunit, its 4 outputs and ~35W/ channel... Ok! All that to explain that my most recent side-project was to upgrade the rear premium speaker setup to this Hertz component setup. Was nearly an easy swap, but was easy enough to do while watching a World Cup game in the background.







The "prep" that JMP is doing, in addition to the dyno, was the Power steering install, but I had them go over the car to make sure I can make my "1000 mile" excursion without issue. So now this looksie- track prep includes Stainless Steel brake lines, and replacing my worn OEM engine mounts with some Condor Mounts. I was a little hesitant on the Condor mounts, but I will wait until after the excursion to decide if they are staying or not. Also having them peak at what's going on with the e-brake as of all the things... is one of the most annoying things about this car.

Stay tuned kids, I think you will like what I have been hiding from you.

Sounds good! Like the bit of a rasp that just kicks in at the end of the pull. Not too crazy but still throaty.

All of this is happening while Im quite a ways away from the car.


You’ll get graphs and more when I want to give them to you …
