Really needs tweets added in otherwise no treble to speak of. Also a big
bump at around 200 hz. The speakers have really low resistance, like 3 ohms
or less, so you need an amp with very low output impedance or you could burn
up the output stage. I finally jetisoned that idea and mounted new cheapie
6x9's in back which were pretty much bolt in except for a custom gasket. I
made it by ripping the gasket off the old bose speakers and adding it to the
new speakers. The fronts are a different story. I'm planning on putting
tweeters in the dash. (The grills pop out really easily.) I'm working on
putting new midrange speakers in the original enclosures in the door.
HTH,
Wolff
