BTDT. i had a/d/s components in the front of my 92, which replaced the stock stuff. i had the tweeters in the dash, and the 5.25's in the doors. i had the speakers on the door panels though, so they wre set back about 2" from the speaker panel on the door pocket. and i lost alot of midrange becuase of it. there was a cavity about 6x6x2 which allowed alot of sound to get lost. plus my windows wouldnt go down all the way. i was going to build a box that would move my speakers closer to the speaker grills, but it turned out to be a pain in the ass, and then i sold the car. then i bought a VW without the aktiv system. ben _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
