Do Something like this for your components, No matter what you pick:

These are Dynaudio's components in a 73 Cadillac Coupe Deville. The grilles were all dyed to match the interior. And lastly, a pic of the trunk.

BTW, I love the engine in your car. Great choice! Hope the body work looks just as great. Sorry for the threadjack.

Is splitting them up better? Most of what I thought I read said keep the tweets in the kick panel. Maybe I misread.

Check out the link to my build thread. Motor mounts, ***** crossmember, redo the ***** tunnel, some trunk floor work. All can be done with a welder, grinder and hand tools.

It really depends on the speakers and processing. With higher end radio's or processers, you can get a setup like this to sound amazing. And a lot of speakers nowadays are designed to sound great in locations like these.

Been doing a ton of research and trying to see what I can fit into my budget.

I like the price point of the ID CTX65CS and I'm thinking about running a 12" Mag V4 for lows.

This puts me at $430. Do you think this is a good combo?

I also was looking at Morel Tempo 6 and Hertz HSK 165.

If the ID and Mag Sub will work well. I need to power them now. What do you think?

Should I give the ID's more than 100rms? I think the Mag needs at least 600rms. I was looking at Alpine PDX 1.600 and PDX 2.150 and cheaper, but good alternatives?

Think I might get the Sundown 125.2 for the fronts.

Beautiful car.

Def can't go wrong.... Did you call Ant?

 

[stealth71 10+ year member]

Hertz HSK-165 and Sundown 125.2 on the way. I'll post up after I get them installed.

Rainbow SLC Kick or CMX (pushing budget)ID CTX65CS

BostonPro60

Some CDT's

FWIW, I have a set of mint Pro60s for sale, complete with the original box and all accessories. Shoot me a PM if interested. This would allow you to save a good chunk of cash on the speakers and put that money into other parts of the system.

Good luck with the project. Love the car.

Edit: oops, too late. I'm sure you'll be happy with the gear you chose.
