MKIII Setups?

[ozsupra]

How have you all setup your sound systems in your MKIII's? Any MKIII owner will be well aware at how little room there is for sound system modifications. Have you found places to put your speakers? Replaced the stock 4's with 4's or kept the stock 4's? Had a full custom install or used multiple speaker box's?

i got my car with replaced door speakers put in 6x9 in speaker boxes in the hatch and put down the back seats with two 12 on them. amp is mounted onto the back of the sub box. you're right about not enough room. im trying to down sizes to either a single 10in or 12in.

im pretty sure they are both 4 in. you could always take one out and take it to an audio store

91+ have 6.5 speakers in the door. Check around, sometimes people sell the speaker housings. Not me though.

i took my rear 4" speakers out and i just have door speakers that are 5 1/4" with crossovers. i also have 2 12" alpine type R's in the trunk with the amp mounted on the box in between the seat and the box. nothing fancy

I got the 6.5" 91+ speaker housings from the junkyard for free. I put Polk component speakers in there (5 1/4" plus a crossover and tweeter). I'm going to custom install the same set in the back SOMEWHERE I dont know where, yet. I am thinking on the inside wall right behind the doors. like right above the backseat. I'll have to take a look at it. Otherwise, I have 4" infiity ref. speakers ill just throw in the back.

I also have two 6x9s enclosed in the back. Sounds amazing when hooked up to a 4 channel amp (Kicker). I'm running these right now until my Sub comes then i
ll get rid of them. I'm getting the eclipse xa1000 mono amp and eclipse 10". I'm running a eclipse cd3000 deck right now with a powerful 5v preout. I will get the cd7000 when it comes out.

For the sub placement I may just take out the backseats and the spare and throw a fiberglass box in the wheel well and put a nice metal grate over it. That way my trunk space is actually increased (if the sub isn't flush with the top of the spare tire well). I'll post pictures soon and let you know what I went with.

I just replaced the front 10cm speakers (4") with a pair of Kenwood KFC-1050's - excellent midrange considering they only set me back ?20.

Head Unit is a JVC KD-G111, slot load single CD tuner. The only thing I plan on doing now, is replacing the rear speakers, and then...well, thats about it - much prefer to hear the engine, or the passengers speaking

so i have put 4" Rockford Fosgate Power speakers with tweeters in the front. I put 5.25" RF Punch with 2 tweeters each in the back. Mounted 2 of the rear tweeters to th A-frame where it meets the dash, the other 2 to the rear speaker covers facing the front of the car. Im saving to get a 12" Punch stage 3 sub, but for now im running a 12" Insignia. And ive got a Kenwood head unit. I a fan of my system, it sounds good and i did all the wiring and placement and all that by myself.

i was planning a massive sound system , with 6-8 midarange 5 1/2 speakers 2 12 inchs and 2 15 inches , i even got the molds ready for it, two 2000 watts amps 2 capacitors, it was a big project but then i realize, i need to respect the race car that it is , after all it is a SUPRA, so now i jus got 4 5 1/2 speakers one on each door and two in the hatch

although i am thinkin of creating a removable layout in the back where the subs and amps, speakers are built , and with the wires with easy disconnect, so i can take it out when i got a race comin up and put it back in jus for show
