Hey Aaron,
If you want to email me off list I'll send a couple of pictures on what I was doing on my 68 when I decided to sell it. In the 90's I competed a car in IASCA and USAC car audio competition - and even won - a trunk full of electronics but it was fun. In my 55 Chevy and now the '68 Chevelle, I used a upper end Alpine head, Audio Control EQT ( 2) comp equalizers, modified, a J.L.Audio amp and Focal component speakers with Focal comp crossovers. Little trick - Canare pro audio ( recording studio ) interconnects and speaker cable - killer stuff and cheap to boot. And lotsa Dynamat ( 3" pipes and Flowmaster Super 40's on a 468 ain't the best for car audio but ya work with what ya got). I was then gonna have a J.L 12 in each side of the trunk aimed sligtly back but decided to sell the car instead. I was and am a soundstage and image freak, as opposed to a thumper and I was gonna pull the new 6x9 Focals back out in favor of subs only in the rear. Never went to a concert where speakers were in the back anyway. If you gotta run rear speakers look at having them clipped at 200-300 hz or less. Better yet run real good stuff in the front - kickpanels is the best for imaging - at least put the tweeter there - aimed at the dome light. 6 1/2" stuff is minimal for decent midbase. I ran 8" DynaAudio mid bass in the doors of my 90's comp car with Quart comp 5 1/4" and tweeter (seperates) where the floor and the kickpanel met and 2 12" subs in the facing forward.. Each speaker (8 total) had it's own dedicated or 1/2 amp with Rane pro audio crossovers and eq's splitting the signal. What an image and soundstage. Kinda over the top but talk radio was never better. Fried a couple of alternators as well. Some one, I think Mickey Thompson, said speed cost money, how fast do you want to go. same thing applied to audio - how good do you want it to sound. DYNAMAT and deaden the car or it will bass rattle and that is an enemy of accurate bass reproduction and imaging.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Speaker setups and package tray.
Hey guys,
Does anyone have any pictures of custom speaker boxes for the 6x9's in the back of a 1970 chevelle? Also any pictures of a full system setup with where they mounted an AMP and or subs in the trunk?
Another question i have is what have you guys done for the back package tray of the 1970 chevelle? do you just up and buy the one out of the catalogs or does anyone know of some custom ones that are a little better than the standard cardboard ones?
Thanx, Aaron Houston, TX 1970 chevelle
