Ok, so I went to the stereo shop (where I have a hookup) and for the price of a pioneer system I came home with these:

Image Dynamics CTX65 (four total)
Image Dynamics ID 12" Subwoofer (not installed yet)

I put the speakers in after making some brackets, they are not amped yet, will be in a week or two when my laptop rebate comes back (Phoenix Gold Octane-R, one 4ch, and one mono...), but they sound good off the Alpine HU.

So I put the back together, it all fit, then went to put the door panels on... Ended up drilling a 2.5 inch in the door panel speaker grill because I was pressed for time (panels should be replaces anyway, they wont come clean...). I could not set the speakers back anyway, window would not close.

So, what to do about the speaker? I just want it to look good, and I cant throw on the ID grills because the door curves at the top. The tweeter is flush with the door panel, so it does not need to be ridiculously huge. For now it looks OK* but I dont like it, it bugs me.

BTW: Have you ever held one of these speakers? The magnets are HUGE!

Thanks in advance

So anyone have some ideas?

pretty nice speakers there . what about building some kick panel enclosures for them .

My car is a manual, no room for a kick panel, I have big feet

Anyone else?

Tear out the back seat and go crazy?


Glass the door panel itself so the speaker mounts directly on it instead of behind it yet the magnet extends into the factory speaker mount. I would like to do that one day with 8" woofers. Just a pipe dream of mine.....
