Lmao! It fits Trigger and I just right! We’re not gay! But We were doing the trek the mighty Mac and we were rocking out to weird crap like this....

That's a jam!

Guess there's no better place to put this...
Been working on the stereo again. Changed out the SSV speakers in the overhead system with Infinity's. That was a pita to do as they were slightly bigger in size and bolt layout was different, had to use spacers to make it work but now there is 8 screws in each one, they're not going anywhere. Also changed out the 4" Noams with 5 1/4" Polk's in pods. That was a pita as well, through the roof with bolts, washers and rubber washers, custom spacers, had to cut down hardware, found out that baffles are bass killers. Made them sound really tight and clean but zero bass and less volume, it sounds better without them. Put it all together and rough wired it in to test the sound, sounds pretty clean. Was planning to put 5 1/4" pods under the dash next to the SSV's but did a test fit of the Noams and think I might utilize them up front instead, cross them over with the RF tweeters.
Anyway, all this adds up to better than it was before. As always, it's a work in progress.

I am, sort of. It's not like I'm adding any speakers, just replacing...so it's kind of like maintenance.

Had to be some wire. Nevertheless, you might recall me telling you just very recently that if you ever do run out of mods .....that you’d then start saying the mods need to be updated, made contemporary.....

You did too, I remember! Well I'll be done with this round in a couple more weekends and then I'm going to start cutting some rubber for something to do.

Or if this deep freeze we’re getting sticks around, you might need to install a heater and some soft doors to keep you warm when your plowing. That will keep you busy for a bit. Crazy change in Weather we’re getting here! Furnaces are workin OT and so am I

Talk about POWER, I was standing below the outer rim of a intergalactic-space-modulating express-vortex conveyance while looking at the moon...It was powerful man....Far out dude! It even has a storage bay large enough for 15 talons with futuristic weaponry systems that I haven't even invented yet.....

Looks good!

I added 3/8" ply under those pods, cut a hole thru the center, basically make the pods deeper and adding somewhat of a back to seal against the roof at the edges.

Can't just leave it alone so ordered some more stuff. When I installed the SSV pods under the dash they came with 6.5's. Then I added 1" RF tweeters on the dash and put crossovers under the hood. Kind of a make shift component set up but not really with the 6.5's having a tweeter in them. Also I can only use two channels of the Alpine amp to drive them, 45 watts rms per channel.
Anyway, just ordered some Infinity components. They're 90 watts rms and I can bridge the amp, that's perfect. Had a set of Kappa's back in the day and they were the best car speakers I've ever heard. Listening to songs you've heard a thousand times and hear subtle sh** you've never heard before. This thing already sounds killer but these will take it to another level. 🤘

Reference 6530cx | 6-1/2" (160mm) component speaker system, 270W

The new Infinity Reference speakers deliver accurate sound thanks to edge-driven textile tweeters for smooth highs, and patented Plus One™ woofers that deliver surprising bass output.
