[QUOTE="brian84corvette, post: 8338775, member: 586635"] half inch plywood and a belt sander to get proper angles and such are the norm to adapt circle speakers to oval speaker holes. some will say use mdf wood - but that melts when it gets wet so... yes get a good head unit - and power some better co axal speakers in the doors and dash or rear fill off of the headunit for now. see how it goes. i installed a pioneer deck in a buddys work van and put some co ax 6.5 in his rear doors where he had crappy stock blown out 5x8 back there. we had planed to use an small amp to power them - but the new pioneer headunit actually pushes them just fine - nice and loud and crisp for what they are... so give that a shot add an amp to them later if you need to - but replace old factory speakers with new co ax for much improved sound even on low rms headunit power. also i say sealed box is the way to go in a small cab truck. large frequency response - not alot of internal air space inside the cab to have to exite so it wont be disapointing.... vs a sealed box inside some large cabin viechle like a suburban or excursion is alot more internal airspace to have to fill. glad to see you taking the time to hook the kid up. please ask any questions you have remaning. ive had good dealings with sonic electronics fyi on pricing as well as fast shipping and large avalability of what i want.
