OK the wife has an 82 Cutlass for a toy, we built a 455 for it a couple of years ago. Well now it is time to redo the interior that has seen better days. At the same time we want to update the audio in it. Stock it has two 3.5" fronts and two 4x10's in the back, not a whole lot of room for impovements for the stock speakers. Now I really don't know much about car audio, more into home audio, so I am here looking for advise. I tried some G-Body forums but I have to say that alot of that crowd doesn't really do maybe the best moods, they are a little too buget minded, alot of hacked up looking stuff. So I am here.
My plan is to get these kick panels pictured below. They will take up to a 6-1/2" driver and a 2" tweeter. We could also put something in the stock 3.5" location in the front if it would do any good.
In the back they make an adapter to hook a 6x9 to the stock 4x10 location, but I don't know how good of an idea that is to funel a bigger speaker through a small hole. My other thought for the back is I could do something like a 6" drive in the rear sail panels. Only issue I see with that is it would be right in the ear of people sitting in the back.
So I am looking for idea and recomendations, don't want to spend $1000's on this, just something that sounds good. Not looking for SPL records or anything.
