Well, time to go to plan B, since I'd have to mod the boxes for any speakers Sonic has to offer in pairs of 5 1/4, 5 3/4, 6 or 8 inches mounting hole I'm going with venerable Pioneer 6x9's. Similar specs to the killers I have in my CJ. Going to arrive in only three days (provided UPS doesn't...

In regards to rule 4, If a crimp connector isn't a real connector then what is? He was referring to like those crimp on ring terminals? Solder. After years of fooling around with those solder pens I finally found a new Weller solder gun on sale. I've used this thing for so many years now I've...

Hi Morphsuit, here in the great (sogg) PacNW I've heard all of my life when vehicular electric components start going mushuga I've often heard "Your grounds are bad" not knowing what it meant. Belonging to a Jeep group and noting posts by an auto electrical guru he's posted the following; "JEEP...

In my Jeep 'Black Betty' a '78 CJ 5 I built and installed (as I did with a '77 three decades ago) a tool box in place of the ineffectual rear seat. Primarily this was to address the factory spare tire mount being attached to the sheet metal of non-tailgated CJ's. Put too large a tire on...

Last night I found a deal from Sonic on Alpine SPS-510's (80hz-22Khz 87db) So I may go with them.

Hmmm I'm not finding a seller in the US, only in the UK.

The box measures 3 1/2 x 9 1/2 x 16 1/2" internally, if I remember how to figure cubic feet it'd be .29 What with the bass tube the low ends are just fine with these boxes

Got a call back from Sonic Electronix and returns are 100% no restocking fee if I simply return 'em. They have available Kenwood KFC1395 PS for around 50 clams and Alpine SPR50's at a lil' over 100 clams. Any opinions?+ It's looking like these have a wider freq. resp. than the Goldwood or...

Well, I've detirmined the hole to be 5 5/8" diameter with clearance of 3 1/2" on the horizontal. These speakers are being driven by a Pioneer 100W per channel amp. Any reccomendations for reliable speakers would be very helpful. I have I understand as terrible horrific sub standard speakers...

Hi Gang, I've got a pair of these speakers behind the seats in 'Easy Bake' my black panel van. They've been in various rigs I've owned for a few decades now and they've served well enen when amplified modestly. Given their age and this climate we have in the PacNW the rubberesque parts of...

Also make certain the the speakers are grounded back to the amp, and the amp getting it's power from the battery rather than a shared circuit, and grounds are not to the sheet metal of the body. Here in the PacNW (and its wonderful climate) we have constant issues with grounds going bad owing in...

Greeting from Oregon, the shower me state, Years ago when I had a '77 CJ5 I had one of these 'bulletproof' Pioneer KP500's to augment the stock AM radio that those years came with; This thing lasted through countless hours of off road rattling, shuffling and general abuse and when I sold...
