$90 what to buy?

[ThxOne Premium Member]

Ok, so I made the choice to return the "throw away" Sony components... they would not give me a refund even though I never opened the box. Instead, they gave me store credit. So, I am trying to think of what I could get to aid the install. I have all the RCA cables I need. I have all the ground blocks me and three other people could use. I have fast rings, speaker gasket material, speaker wire for days and days. What could I get for a little over $90 at this shop that I am overlooking? How much sound deadening do you think I could get for $90? This place is WAY overpriced so I know I am going to get screwed. The dash kit for my car is $199 on Amazon and Ebay. They wanted to charge me $369 for the exact same kit. So.... how can I maximize my $90? Any suggestions would be great cause I am drawing a blank.

Sounds like you’ve been had. Cut your losses and skip town.

As I sat and thought about it... I realized if I put them in I would find a way to talk myself out of buying better speakers for my active build. I was going to use the money to buy the Alpine tweeters.

No, can't do that... they still have just over $90 of my money. Gotta be something I can get for that price.

I thought you were going to run those in your Jeep?Its hard to find a decent component set for $90 bucks for sure. Specs seemed fairly decent on them.Id look at some Vifta tweets off of Parts Express. I had some Vifta -25??(dont remember the exact model, have to look them up again) tweets that sounded really amazing for the $. I may even look into buying another set,and should have never sold my other set.

Just have to brouse around and see what they have.. maybe they will start a X-mas sale next week and find something worth buying?

I was going to try them out in the Jeep... they were going to end up in the Pontiac to replace the worn out factory stuff until I do the active install. THEN I noticed... my door speakers do not get a full range signal in the pontiac... at least they don't sound like they do. No bass at all from the doors... all the bass seems to come from the REALLY crappy rear 6x9's. You can hear that they have rips in them. Those tweeters are nice but I am leaning more towards a much smaller mounting ring.
