Everybody's got a few of these lying around. What do you have?

I'm looking for some 6.5 speaker grill. I'd like 4 pairs (8 grills). I'd prefer them to all be the same, however I'm willing to have 2 pairs of one type and 2 of another. These are pretty much for looks (2 pairs will be mounted on a boat tower 2 will go in the boat) so I'm not looking for...

Well curiosity got the best of me. I ended up ordering 2 sets of B2 Audio comps (B2 Audio ES61 Components - ES6.1 6.5" Speakers). I'll see what those are all about. The mids look pretty beefy. I'll find out soon.

Very interesting. Might try. Their subs are quite expensive compared to the comps. I just might give them a shot...

Where can they be found?

After looking into Massive CK6V's yesterday a bit and finding some pretty good reviews by multiple people, I think that's the direction I'm leaning right now. How do they sound? Do they have decent mid-bass? Are the tweeters harsh or over-bearing? What did you replace with them?

I actually was in a local install shop recently and asked about that. The head installer told me they install non-marine stuff in lake boats all the time without having any issues. So I'm not worried about that. As long as the cones aren't paper, there shouldn't be a problem.

I've been out of the loop for a while but I'm doing a build on my boat. I'm looking for advice for some 6.5 comp speakers. These will be hanging on the wakeboard tower in a custom fiberglass enclosure and will not be seeing salt water or getting wet so I don't need marine speakers. I'm...

I have an 84 fiero. I wired it up about 8 years ago. Never got subs into it (wired it for it and bought them) though and the sound in it was pretty nice for what it was. I just didn't get to the subs. It's on my list to do after finishing the house I'm building (with a third garage bay so...

No problem. Glad it worked out. Enjoy. Well you're at it, you might want to check and make sure that your front speakers are in phase also. It's not nearly as big an issue, but it could have an effect. Just make sure when a good bass note hits, all your speakers are moving in one direction...

If you're getting good bass output when one is working and little to no bass output when both speakers are working, that is more than likely a phase issue,even if the colors seem to match, not a power issue. Yes you can change the polarity at the headunit. Try it. I could be wrong, but that...

Sounds like it might be a phase problem. Try reversing the polarity on one of your rear (6x9) speakers (put the plus to the minus side and vise versa). If your speakers are running out of phase, you will have cancellation.

This might be obvious, but is your back battery connected to the front battery?

Also going on plastic which requires an agent to allow it to be flexible and hold to the plastic. If regular paint is used, it will start cracking and flaking within a couple of years and look like crap.

Sounds like your antenna wire might be a grounding cable also. Try grounding the ground wire from the deck directly to the chassis.
