Stereo renovation thread, A few questions Options

[familienauto]

Hi guys,

It's finally time to rip the sub-par stereo system out of the 914.

A couple days ago I took the speaker grills off...and realized that when the speakers were installed, they were the wrong size, and had just been bolted through the grill, damaging a couple of the cross-pieces on the grill. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

That aside...here's what I plan to do:

1. Get the morphenspectra 4x6 speakers and adapter plates. Supposedly these are 75 watt speakers.

2. Buy a new receiver from Crutchfield...nothing fancy, something with a removable faceplate.

3. Wire it up using all the original leads.

So...is this a plan for success? Or does it need more punch? I don't want a booming, window-shattering-loud stereo, just something that would be audible over the engine in town, 25-35 MPH. Car is usually driven with the top off and has Monza exhaust.

Let me know if I'm overlooking anything. This is the first stereo install I've done.
