[QUOTE="Darrin kirby, post: 245359, member: 5211"] Quick follow-up on this. I installed the "subs" in the back today. I had to enlarge the holes in the factory boxes just slightly. I also added a bunch of sound deadening material in the boxes. They sound pretty decent. A little on the honky side, but I don't think that's the speakers - I think it's the head unit or power amp. The old speakers had that too. I can EQ it out to some degree, but there's definitely still a peak there in the upper/mid bass. I might try plugging the factory port in the speaker box - it's probably tuned piss poorly considering how awful the factory Bose systems sounded in these cars. I really want to replace the head unit also, but I'm kind of dreading the butchery I'm gonna find in the wiring back there. There is buzz even when the car isn't running so the dude probably messed up a ground somewhere. The cheap Pioneer unit in there is...well, cheap. I kinda like the more expensive Pioneer stuff (had one in my Tacoma), but these bargain basement units you get at Walmart & Canadian Tire are hopeless. [/QUOTE]
