Lets Hear Your Sound System

I have an old am/fm and a speaker that I wouldn't use to hold down the bottom of a trash can bag. Looking for ideas...

JVC 220W MP3 CD
2 200W Pioneer 6x9s
1 12" 350W Sub

All three speaker boxes fit nicely along the back seats when folded down. That's all I need (more than, actually).

New Alpine 9807 CD XM compatible head unit
5 1/4 MB Quart in doors and rear
4 channel 100 x 4 Diamond Audio Amp
Entire setup was <$1,000 and sounds amazing, real crisp with good low end punch.

Also, went with a Clifford 2 way GPS tracking anti-theft system Had to do it, it it so cool!

Blaupunkt alaska head unit - not too flashy
6-1/2 JL components in the door
10w0 JL sub in the back
Alpine 5 channel amp driving everything
soon to come - sirius satellite radio mounted where the ashtray is

I think it sounds really good especially with only two speakers. I plan on putting another set in the back. I think the whole thing was under 350 since i got everything gently used off of ebay.

Aren't you the one who built a sealed box out of the smugglers box? I think you should post pictures of that again. It is really nice work! I tried duplicating what you did and failed miserably. I used 1/2 MDF with a 10" sub and I couldn't get the MDF to stay together around the speaker. Eventually I gave up.

My setup is an Alpine CD with 5 1/4 component speakers (very high quality brand, but can't remember what they are) in the doors. It sounds very good for only two speakers. I can bring myself to cut up the rear deck for two extra speakers.

Funny Tom!

New Porsche owner here, is the Smuggler's box under the carpet in the front where the air conditioning blower is? I keep seeing references to it, as above. Just curious as I may want to smuggle some Mexicans across the border.

Factory orig. Blau. Montery Radio with factory door and rear speaks. I never turn it on.

All of my music comes from the 3.0 liter in the back.

Eclipse CD Player
MB Quart 6 1/2" in the door which required my building up a mounting surface since they would not just sink into the existing speaker openings.
4 X 75 watt Sony Amp bridged to Bazooka Sub on rear shelf.
Sounds really good but I'm looking into XM since my wife's TL had that and it was really nice.

Hmmm... I was thinking of a different one where the smugglers box was sealed, but the fiberglass rout looks much easier, and completely removeable. Anyway, I hadn't seen that thread yet, thanks.

Speaking of removeable, this one is lightweight but not technically legal.

Where can I find these MB Quarts? I really need to replace my door speakers and have had a heck of a time finding ones that fit. I have a factory electric top cab with only two speakers in the front doors and would love some better sound......well beside's the 3.2

Any decent audio shop should be able to help you with the MB Quart's. I have the same car as you, but with two speakers per door. I think it was an option depending on which Blaupunkt system came in the car. Getting an amplifier will make a huge difference too. When I purchased the car from the PO, it sounded tinny, then added the new Alpine and amp and it made a huge difference.
