[QUOTE="Pelikan, post: 6806787, member: 622039"] I'm doing a full restoration on a '73 Volkswagen Beetle. Part of that is going to involve adding speakers and a head unit. I don't need an insane system--not looking to rattle the windows--just something that sounds good. Given this is a small car, and would almost never have people in the back seat, I'm just going to install a pair of speakers up front. So I have a few questions: [LIST] [*]With the way the car is setup, I can only fit 5.25" speakers. Will two 5.25 inchers provide decent enough audio? Again, not looking for anything insane, just something that sounds nice for the average listener. [*]I'm looking at a Kenwood KDC-X494 head unit and KFC-X133 Kenwood Excelon speakers. Decent? [/LIST] Overall, I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible, and am looking to spend $500 or less, including the cost of install. Any help/guidance greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
