Did a search, the speakers listed were NLA, I know there's clearance issues with the big magnets of today's speakers.
Just wondering if anyone has done this lately and have a model number for a speaker that fits. I realize you have to trim to fit. The guy doesn't want pods, I asked, he wants something cheap that fits the stock housing. He just listens to news radio and baseball games. |

For my 6--
Polk Audio --I believe that we are going to put a small subwoofer in center front console. Hoping to get a clean tight sound like I used to get from ADS small bookshelf speakers. Bob B |

Bob B ^ Nice work. Right down the lines of what I am doing right now. Decided to try fairly thick ABS plastic for the board, as my speakers didn't come with that cool framework. Also trying the tweeters below the mids, for line-of-sight acoustics (an oxymoron!). No idea how that will work out, and it looks funny, but it won't matter when the speaker cloth is over them. I think an enclosure is always going to work best with small speakers. Years ago I mounted a pair of Minimus 7's with the black die cast enclosure in the stock locations. I powered them with a 50 watt per ch (max for the speakers), I can't remember the front end I used, but I had an Alphasonic 7 band EQ that was just a touch wider than the console gauge panel, and I made it work. I think an adjustable EQ really helps a 914, because the sound changes so much when you take off the roof Agreed, and if someone made a way to seal the back of these pods, I'd be a buyer. It's a bit outside of my fabrication level. Had an EQ in my old setup, and will again. Definitely helps. Just wish there were more compelling choices out there. Pyle seems a bit…hmmmm. |

[/quote] How much would adding simple foam baffles help? I'm sure not the same as a good enclosure but would they be worth it? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/images.crutchfieldonline.com-20845-1579217584.1.jpeg) @914forme interesting choice on sub. I hadn't even considered an enclosed sub. Love that review! |
