Default New Dash Speakers and HU and Subs to come

Hey, I just put in some Eclipse 4x6" speakers in the dash locations and have a HU that I should be installing soon. I just also put in my Sub box with 2 10" Kenwood Typhoon subs and a Profile California 1000watt amp. I only hooked the subs up to the amp and connected the ground wire tonight, I am waiting till I get the HU in, that way I will have my source for the amp/subs. I dont have pics yet but when I am done I will be sure to put some up. So far the dash speakers sound awesome, and I know the subs do as they were in my last car. just figured I'd let people know.

They fit in there pretty good, just had to mount them weird since they were the european style mounted 4x6". As for power they are supposed to be like 50watts RMS each or something like that. I am not totally sure as I got them cheap at a demo/storewide sale at Soundworld in Appleton 2 weekends ago. They are very easily heard and I can no longer hear my rear speakers from the drivers seat, which is why I can't wait to wire in the subs. So they sound sweet and seem to do well, I have only listened to them for about a half hour, I will see more as I will be driving my truck to work this week instead of my Dad's.

Well, if you happen to find a model number so I can do some digging....

Sounds like you've got it going good so far!

Looks good. Did you have to modify anything to make the 4x6's work?

I didn't modify to much to get in the 4x6" speakers. I got them at a local audio shop on sale and turns out they are european mount, so they didnt fit the holes exact but I was able to get 2 screws in towards the front using the actual hole and extending a screw using a large washer. Then the covers were able hold down the front tabs fine. So they fit great.

As for the dash, I know what your feeling RCars2, I still havent finished the door/window controls on the side, just been busy and lazy. And the subs are great, very powerful and crisp clean sounding.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.
