[QUOTE="drbrown, post: 4171747, member: 555414"] Thats the dash kit alright! I think its tolerable but Im not sure its worth $70 or I would paint it and do some trim work. The main stereo is in the trunk so all I'd have to do is tap the wires with LOC's in the trunk to set it all up versus paying $70 for the dash kit, $20 for the wire harness and going thru the pain of the install. I bought universal speaker adapter plates that fit the 6x8 hole and fit 6.5 or 5-1/4 speakers. I own a pair of brand new kenwood 5-1/4" 3-ways so Im going to try amping those to start. Ive never had externally amped components so this will be new to me. If the mix doesnt sound good I'll consider an 8" sub mounted between the 6x8's in the trunk ledge. I carry my drumset around and cant lose 1" of trunk space since my bass drum is 22x22". So a closed box is out of the question. And if Im still not happy I can upgrade the kenwoods of course as they are just a midgrade speaker. Thanks for the replies folks!! [/QUOTE]
