I inherited the Moch-1 rear panel (Batmobile) enclosure when I bought my 72 Targa a few years ago. It was designed for 4.5 - 5" seperates, which were blown. I replaced them with a set of Infinity Kappa 5" components, with the crossovers mounted inside the enclosure and 300hz bass blockers. Up front I have a set of MB Quart 6.5" referenz components in the door panels. My car didn't come with door pockets, so that wasn't an issue.
I used to have a JBL 400 watt 4 channel mounted in the trunk, but had a ground loop problem that Rod Birch (
www.caraudiodynamics.com) diagnosed correctly to the amp, so I am now driving all the speakers off of the head unit (Pioneer DEH-P7000R). The forward-facing rear speakers and the Hollywood Bowl effect of the Targa glass make adjusting the sound staging between the component sets a tad challenging, but I like the high end of the range (I'm a big jazz/blues listener) so this isn't a major problem for me.
I would like to get more lows out of the 6.5" mb quarts, so if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. Would adding some kind of enclosure behind them assist?
I have also been toying with building a fiberglass enclosure to replace the passenger side wooden footrest that would hold a 10" sub ( and provide a passenger foot massage in the bargain).
Back to the Moch-1 Batmobile enclosure - I am one of those who likes the appearence of this, but it is a matter of personal likes and dis-likes. If anyone cares to look, you can see a shot of my car with the enclosure just visible through the glass in Wayne's German Autofest pictures (Pic #195 - i think it's on page 2).
