Default 1993 C4 Coupe System

Hello everyone,

Well I have finally had it with the Bose and plan to replace it. I have talked with a local installer that is a JL dealer. They seem to be reputable and have done high end installs.

Here are the components I am considering:
Eclipse CD300
JL VR 5.25 Csi up front (component speakers)
JL VR 6.5 CXi in back (or possibly 690 CXi) coaxial speakers
JL 300/4 amp

I don’t plan to install a sub since I am not really into huge bass, but I do want a good system. I think this will install with minimal changes to the car. Plan to have them hang the amp from the back hatch well.

Thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

6.5s require more custom work to install... but it is doable.

I found a picture here of 5.25's installed in a members car. I was going to take the pic to the installer. If I could get 6.5's to fit I would prefer them. I just wasnt sure how much more custom work would be required and what to expect the finished product to look like.

I will ask them about it when I purchase the system. I dont think they have done a C4 in a long time, so I doubt they know exactly what to expect.

Since the car is still pretty stock and in good shape with low mileage I plan to keep the stock Bose to have if/when I sell the car.
