Bose rear has an oversized frame, so have to drill new holes. Tiny neo magnet. Replacing with Kappa.

I think that car will end up being a supreme sound machine my friend. Whenever you have the time, please share more photos!

A bit of progress today.

Blose tweeter


4ohm, 20W, 6.8uf capacitor... 5.8K hz

Replced with JBL tweets from a gto set. Perfect fit. Secured with some epoxy.

Stealrh tweeter

Ran signal wires on passenger side behind speaker.

Driver rear speaker installed. Decided to not make new screw holes and simply just added large enough washers.

Infinity perfect 300M in door panel. Foam ring and sealed with dynamat.

Another shot of work done previously on door.

Hoping to put seats back in next and be able to move the car. Wife wants back in the garage!

Seats and door panels back in. All signal wires ran. Need power and ground for my 10 channel amp.

PDXv9, PDX-F4, and PDX-M6

10 channels: 4 ch F/R mids and tweets 4 ch bridged to 2 door midbass 1 ch 10" subs 1 ch 8"sub TBD another amp for center channel

Amps stacked in cubby. Barely enough room for the plugs and patch cables. Will build a nice cover with quiet exhaust fans and maybe a DSP.

JL Audio sub box


Secured by factory bolts.

I just need a couple hours to do the actual connections at the amp.
