Nice clean install, I especially like the cable management and runs. And a great job of documenting the install,bet it sounds as good as it looks

Thanks for posting this!

I picked up a 93 C4 a few weeks ago and I love it other than the dead Bose... I picked up a double din touch screen and will be doing an install soon- I will be putting 6x9s in the back and some 5.25 up front. I am going to wire for an amp for a sub but will have to add that at a later date (just got the car so audio funds are limited- so far I have the head unit and speakers and a wire harness adapter and have spent $45- most pieces picked up trading parts).

I am thinking a single 10" and amp will fit in the jack storage compartment- an 8" will fit I know, but I think a 10" may...

Great job

My question is, can you tell me or show me picture wise specifically what screws and where they are located to remove the bezel.

Thanks, I just dont want to hack up anything, I am going to replace the head unit itself and keep the bose speakers for now.

Thanks in advance

I don't have pictures of the bolts for the console but there are 2 inside the console and one in the cup holder that have to be removed to remove the lower part. Then once that is out there are 2 on the low side of the face bezel and one uner the AC vent.

Any fix for the photos above?

Rex Ruby

Don't know why they are unavailable, will look into it

My photo hosting service webshots has shut down.
I'll be looking at a new service and will fix the above.
Really sucks no notice from webshots.
OF course I have these on my hard drive and an external HD.

It's a shame you went through the effort and no one can see the pictures. I hope you can get them back.

I have very good luck with Photobucket. Give them a shot.

If you have a Gmail or google account, then use Picasa.. that is what I have been using for awhile now.. works really well

A lot of the pics are still cached on Google images, though I can't see anything other than the thumbnails.

I wanted to do something similar, but the audio shop is telling me that an 8" in that location wouldn't sound great due to a lack of depth and that I'd also be losing mid range sound.

Did you experience this?

Rex Ruby

I'm no major audiophile but it sounds good to me.
Using the 3 ways up front seems to have handled the mid range.

Moved my pics to photobucket.
Pics are back up!

UPDATE!
A few years ago the rear subs started to crack. I was also unhappy with the finish of the 6X9s, they stuck out too far and did not look stock.
I decided to relocate the 6X9s to the rear and install new 6" speakers up front in place of the 6X9s. Then add a sub box.
When I started the project first step was taking the (stock) speaker covers off of the rear subs. Something told me to fire up the music to see if both cracked or just one.
No cracking, the cracking was from the stock speaker covers being too close and probably touching the subs. Added spacers to the covers and that solved the cracking, subs stayed.
Continued with the removal of the 6X9s and installed the 6" speakers (w/ teeter and mid range). Was able to use the original stock speaker covers so the fronts are now looking all stock.
