In Reply to: Front speakers.... posted by TBR on July 22, 1999 at 13:01:01:
I'm gonna try to put somethin in the doors, I like the way they sound there and I need to replace my door panels anyway, and probably my doors since the bottoms of all of them are almost rusted threw. Definatly putting 6x9's in the trunk cutouts. I may mount a pair of 4" tweets in the center of the dash, and put bandpass box in my trunk.
Right now I'm just gonna by some really cheap speakers so I can have stereo.
I hurd you guys are using kick panels. Don't they get in the way of the hi-beam switch on the floorboard?
I just want sound right now, just replaced my antenna, it was snapped off at the base, so now I have sound in the original speakers, but it's very distorted and I can barely hear it, but that was expected.
In the coming weeks I'm going to strip the interior, once I locate all the supplies I'm gonna need. I'm gonna shape and weld some patches for the floorboard, I have 2 very large holes. I'm gonna pull my dash and find the leaks that are causeing the rust problems, and seal them all up, the I'm gonna dyna mat the entire interior. Install carpet on the floors, replace the headliner, and try to find a pair of mustange buckets and console to replace the front bench, unless I like the maverick buckets. Never seen them before. Finally I'm gonna repaint everything inside to a new color. I have the ford blue interior, and I plan to paint the exterior midnight blue in the future, and I think there would be too much blue if I just repainted the interior the same color. What were the original color options? I want to keep some of the car original, but I want to modify it a little so it will be unique. I've got so many plans and don't know where to start. There's alot of stuff I need to do, but there's alot more that I want to do, and I've gotta to find the balance.
Any suggestions or thoughts?
