I feel terrible that I completely missed this post. I apologize I don’t remember the width at all. I forget where I bought the fuse blocks also. I’m so very sorry! I realize this is more than a year later
As long as your stereo design is putting out unaltered low frequencies on those outputs you can do that no problem.
I guess I have missed a bunch of people’s posts. Don’t know how I apologize. Are used all front and rear outputs into my processor. The prompts are generally on the rear channels so you have to keep them and also to hear the rear sensor prompts
Big apology to you I’m sorry that I missed your post it’s been almost 2 years. Yes I think it was fairly easy to get to them. I put 4 inch speakers in there I believe I’m really glad I did but I had to do some modifications. I believe I wrote about it early in the build
I am sure I am way too late to answer this question. You can get rid of the amplifier from the factory if you do a full delete and you were using your own Amplification end to end. I’ve never had an issue and so glad that I got rid of that somy factory amp.
Thank you Lexingtonian. I will have find out. By they way you did a great install on your system. Love the detailed pics.
I don't think any of those members, except MM07, will see your replies. tjor was last seen here March 4, 2020 and the other two haven't been here since May and June 2019.
Thanks Peter. It was worth a shot. No idea how I missed the alerts.I don't think any of those members, except MM07, will see your replies. tjor was last seen here March 4, 2020 and the other two haven't been here since May and June 2019.

Hits as well as a single 10 can. Your neighbor’s aren’t going to hear it but it will rattle the rear view mirror. It will need to be EQ’d a bit to smooth out resonances if you want to fully dial it in. For me I love how it isn’t in the way. I’d prefer two 10’s or a 12 but this is a nice compromise between form and function. In a SQ install its more than enough. It makes the factory 8” sound like an anemic 6”
Looks like you got lucky!
The eight sounds pretty good but the door could use a lot of deadening and I didn’t do a lot of deadening. So it’s sort of free air. What I ended up doing is getting a cantilevered 8 inch speaker mount made from ABS and heavily modified it with a pair of pliers and a blow torch (yes, pulpThanks for the reply. I was kind of leaning toward trying to find a 6.75 or 6.5 as I've always had a strong bias toward "round" drivers. Do you think a modern 6x9 is better, I know at one time the wisdom was that there was less or less controlled excursion on non-round drivers so even if they had larger cone areas they were often inferior for output/quality? Would like to continue putting more bass up front so the 6x9 may be the better option, and can be done in no time since they make an adapter for that application...Looks like you got lucky!
It’s been a while since I’ve been in there. And I have no idea where my original pictures are. I’ll just say, it’s tricky. If I were to do it over again, I would do a 6 x 9 or a 6 x 8 and not do the 8 inch. It was a pain and I did not enjoy it at all
fiction style) to get everything to fit right.
I also took a lot of plastic off of the inside of the stock grills because the speaker surrounds were hitting it. Again, get a great stock replacement and call it good.
Actually I feel like my stock drivers put out more bass than my 8”. My 8” is more SQ. I think it’s probably splitting hairs a little. Prob not worth the fab work. I was stuck on round drivers too.
